Description
Delicious gluten-free bars made with almond flour and natural sweeteners, mimicking the classic Twix with a healthier twist.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups Almond Flour
- 3 tbsp Butter (melted)
- 1 1/2 tbsp Maple Syrup
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
- 1/3 cup Maple Syrup
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 cup Almond Flour
- 1 cup Chocolate Chips
- 1 1/2 tbsp Coconut Oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Shortbread: Mix almond flour, melted butter, 1 1/2 tbsp maple syrup, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, and salt in a large bowl until blended into a dough. Press into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown. Let cool.
- Make the Caramel Filling: In another bowl, combine peanut butter, 1/3 cup maple syrup, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup almond flour. Mix until smooth and spread over the cooled shortbread. Freeze for at least 1 hour to set.
- Prepare the Chocolate Coating: Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil until smooth, either over boiling water or in the microwave.
- Assemble the Bars: Remove from freezer, lift out using parchment paper, and cut into 16 bars.
- Coat the Bars: Dip each bar into the melted chocolate until fully covered, then tap to remove excess chocolate and place them on a parchment-lined tray.
- Final Touch: Drizzle any leftover chocolate over the bars and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Return to freezer for 10 minutes to harden.
- Enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
Ensure the shortbread layer is cool before adding caramel. For nut-free, substitute almond flour with oat flour. Try adding cinnamon for extra flavor.
