Description
This recipe guides you to create a healthy Kit Kat version that is gluten-free and vegan, offering a guilt-free treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cup blanched almond flour (115g)
- 3 Tbsp coconut sugar
- 1 Tbsp ground flax
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 3 Tbsp melted coconut oil
- 1 Tbsp water
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 Tbsp dark chocolate
- 3 Tbsp peanut butter (or Sunbutter)
- 1 cup dark chocolate (5oz)
- 1/2 Tbsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Combine all dry cookie ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl. This includes the almond flour, coconut sugar, ground flax, and salt.
- Mix in the wet ingredients. This includes the coconut oil, water, and vanilla. First mix the dough with a spatula, then use your hands to knead it.
- Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper using a rolling pin. The cookie dough for your homemade healthy Kit Kat should be about 1/8 inch thick.
- Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the cookies into rectangles about 3.5 inches x 0.75 inches. Remove the excess dough and set it aside. (You’ll re-roll it to make more cookies.)
- Transfer the cookie dough on the parchment paper to a baking sheet (keeping the cookies on the parchment). Bake them at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
- Remove them from the oven and use a knife or pizza cutter to spread the cookies apart. Let them cool on the pan for 5-10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire cooling rack.
- Melt the dark chocolate, then stir in the peanut butter for the fudge filling of your healthy Kit Kat bars.
- Cool the fudge mixture for about 10 minutes before spreading it onto the cookies (It should be thick like frosting).
- Each healthy Kit Kat contains 3 cookies and two layers of fudge. Assemble the cookies and then set them on a lined baking sheet and place them in the freezer to set.
- Place the dark chocolate and coconut oil in a small saucepan. Melt over low heat, stirring frequently for the chocolate coating.
- Grab the cookies from the freezer and dip them, one at a time, into the melted chocolate.
- Place the cookies back on the lined baking sheet to set.
- Drizzle any remaining chocolate over the cookies to complete your healthy Kit Kat.
Notes
- For the cookies, you can use tigernut flour as an alternative to blanched almond flour.
- The ground flax acts as a binder in this healthy Kit Kat recipe.
- Ensure the fudge mixture is thick before spreading to prevent it from running off the cookies.
- Freezing the assembled bars helps them set firmly before dipping in chocolate.
