Healthier Peanut Butter Fudge
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups (375g) natural peanut butter
- 1/3 cup (150g) pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup (35g) cacao
- 1/2 cup (110g) coconut oil
- 1/4 cup (35g) oat flour
Optional swirl topping
- 40g vegan caramel chocolate
- 10g vegan dark chocolate
Preparation
Add coconut oil to a saucepan and melt gently over a low heat.
Turn off heat, then add remaining ingredients and whisk together until completely uniform.
Pour into a small lined tin and set in the fridge.
Once firm, remove fudge from fridge and tin.
Use a sharp knife to cut into desired serving sizes and store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Optional swirl topping
Pour caramel chocolate over set fudge.
Drizzle dark chocolate through the caramel, then use a skewer to marble together.
Set again in the fridge.
Notes
Despite receiving a bad wrap in the media, peanuts are a healthy, low FODMAP high-protein option for vegans.
They have a generous monounsaturated fat content and feature nutrients that promote heart health.
Peanuts are good sources of vitamin E, niacin, folate, protein, and manganese.
Peanut butter is an excellent, easy-to-digest spread that adds bulk, creaminess, and vital calories to snacks, smoothies, treats, meals, and sauces.
