Healthy Homemade Twix Bars
Ingredients
Shortbread
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
Salted almond butter caramel
- 3/4 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 pinches of salt
Chocolate layer
- 1 bar vegan dark chocolate, melted
Preparation
Preheat oven to 375 and line an 8x8 square pan with parchment.
Combine the almond flour, coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla and salt and mix until it becomes like a shortbread dough (crumbly). Press the dough into the pan and bake for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the salted almond butter by adding the almond butter, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla and salt into a pot over medium heat for just a few minutes until it’s well combined and bubbles a little. Pour this over the slightly cooled shortbread crust and place in fridge or freezer.
After about an hour, melt your chocolate and pour over the almond butter layer and spread evenly.
Place in fridge again until the chocolate hardens, then remove and cut into bars. Enjoy and store in fridge or freezer.
Tips
Portion sizes are crucial to the Low FODMAP Diet; it's not necessary to eliminate foods like almonds entirely, just monitor portions.
Low FODMAP serving sizes are per meal, not per day, so the same food can be repeated after a 3 to 4 hour break.
