Healthier Homemade Twix Bars (makes 16)
🔹For the shortbread:
1 ½ cups of almond flour, packed (200g)
3 tablespoons of butter, melted
1 ½ tablespoons of maple syrup
½ teaspoon of vanilla
¼ teaspoon of salt
🔹For the caramel filling:
1 cup of creamy almond butter (or other nut/ seed butter)
⅓ cup of maple syrup (or honey)
1 teaspoon of vanilla
¼ cup of almond flour
🔹For the chocolate coating:
1 cup of chocolate chips (I used dark chocolate)
1 ½ tablespoons of coconut oil
1️⃣ Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper (don’t skip this step as it makes getting the shortbread SO much easier to get out of the pan without it breaking).
2️⃣ In a large bowl, mix together the shortbread ingredients: almond flour, melted butter, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt. Mix until thoroughly combined and then press it firmly into the prepared pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the shortbread is browned along the edges. Let cool while you make the filling.
3️⃣ Make the filling by combining all of the ingredients: almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla, and almond flour. Once fully mixed together, spread it on top of the shortbread. Place in the freezer to set for at least an hour.
4️⃣ After an hour in the fridge, prepare the chocolate layer by combining the chocolate and coconut oil in a shallow bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments until fully melted.
