INGREDIENTS
SHORTBREAD BASE
- 148 g almond flour, (1½ cups)
- 38 g vegan vanilla protein powder*, or more almond flour
- 3 tablespoon maple or agave syrup, (42 g)
- 3 tablespoon melted coconut oil, (42 g)
CARAMEL
- 120 g peanut butter, (7½ tbsp)
- ¼ cup maple or agave honey, (56 g)
- 1½ tablespoon coconut oil, melted, (21 g)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- Pinch of salt
CHOCOLATE COATING
- 210 g dairy-free chocolate
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil, (5 g)
INSTRUCTIONS
SHORTBREAD BASE
- Mix all the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, vegan protein powder (or more almond flour), maple/agave honey, and melted coconut oil. Mix well until a homogeneous dough is obtained.
- Spread the dough: Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x5-inch (23x13 cm) rectangular pan lined with parchment paper. Ensure the layer is even to facilitate later cutting. Set aside.
CARAMEL
- Combine all the ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix all the ingredients for the caramel. If the mixture is a bit hard, heat it in the microwave for a few seconds to soften it and make it easier to integrate.
- Pour over the base: Pour the caramel evenly over the shortbread base.
- Freeze: Transfer the pan to the freezer for at least 5 hours or overnight so that the caramel hardens and it's easy to cut the bars.
CHOCOLATE COATING
- Melt the chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, combine the dairy-free chocolate and coconut oil. Melt using a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until completely melted and smooth.
- Unmold: Once frozen, remove the pan from the freezer, unmold, and remove the parchment paper.
- Cut into bars: Use a sharp knife to cut the bars into the desired size.
- Coat the bars: Dip the frozen bars into the chocolate, one by one, until they are evenly coated. Let the excess chocolate drip before transferring them to a piece of parchment paper. Continue until all bars are coated.
- Refrigerate again: Place the bars in the fridge for at least 35 minutes or until the chocolate is firm.
- Store: Store the Twix Bars in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer to maintain freshness.
NOTES
- Protein powder: You can substitute with more almond flour.
