How to make low carb and keto Easter eggs from scratch
The Ingredients
- Blanched Almond Flour– A light and grain-free flour. It doesn’t taste like almonds at all and holds the Easter eggs together.
- Unsweetened shredded coconut– Gives a delicious coconut flavor, and makes these eggs taste like an Almond Joy or Bounty bar.
- Sugar Free Syrup– Adds sweetness to the eggs, and also holds them together.
- Coconut milk– helps hold the eggs together. Any unsweetened milk of choice will work.
- Sugar Free Chocolate– To coat the keto Easter eggs!
The Instructions
Making these homemade keto Easter eggs is so simple following 3 step process, and literally takes 5 minutes.
Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, add your almond flour and shredded coconut and mix well. Add your syrup and coconut milk and mix until a dough remains. If the batter is too thick, add a little extra milk or syrup.
Step 2: Lightly wet your hands, and form small egg shapes with the almond/coconut mixture. Place them on a lined plate and place in the freezer, to firm up.
Step 3: Melt your chocolate chips, or make your own chocolate (see below!). Remove the coconut eggs from the freezer. Using two forks, dip the eggs individually in the chocolate until coated. Place back on the plate and refrigerate until firm!

Paleo Vegan Chocolate Options
Homemade Paleo Vegan Chocolate Recipe- To make a homemade paleo vegan chocolate bar, simply combine 1 cup coconut oil, 1 cup cocoa powder and 1/3 cup pure maple syrup.
Homemade Sugar Free Paleo Vegan Chocolate Recipe- Similar to above, combine 1 cup cocoa powder, 1/2 cup melted coconut oil. Then, add some liquid stevia or monk fruit according to taste.
Alternatively, you can use store bought paleo vegan chocolate chips- I prefer using these mini chips or these baking morsels.

These look like little egg-shaped almond joys without the almonds! LOL! I would eat them all in a heartbeat <3
So cute! I think I’ll have a couple please!
Can you use coconut flour instead of almond?
The almond flour helps make the texture smooth. IF you use coconut flour, it will be stiff and a little difficult to enjoy.
I used NOW organic monk fruit liquid sweetener and it was so bitter, I could not eat it. Yuck!
Yep, and that is why I never recommend using that.
Try using Birch Blenders Classic Syrup maple flavor. It keeps the recipe keto and no after taste.
