*Storage tips: in an airtight container in the fridge for a week or frozen for months
Ingredients
- Biscuit base:
- ✅ 3/4 cup almond meal
- ✅ 1/4 cup vegan caramel protein powder (I used @macr0mike - my discount code is “amb-chen”)
- ✅ 2 tablespoons nut butter
- ✅ 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- ✅ 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted (or non-dairy milk of choice)
- *Optional: Pinch of salt
- Caramel filling:
- ✅ 2 tablespoons nut butter
- ✅ 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- Chocolate coating:
- ✅ 80g dairy-free chocolate, melted ( I used @bennettonaturalfoods dark)
- *Optional: chopped nuts for decorating
Instructions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 160 degrees Celsius/ 320 degrees Fahrenheit, fan-forced. Line a cookie tray with non-stick paper.
- 2. In a large bowl, mix together the biscuit ingredients until it becomes a cookie dough consistency
- 3. Divide the dough into 6 even portions and roll each one into a ball, flatten and use your thumb to make a well in the centre of the biscuit (like a thumbprint cookie)
- 4. Bake for 12-14 minutes until the cookie is golden on the outside. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to fully cool down. You can put it in the freezer to speed up the process
- 5. Mix together the ingredients for the PEANUT CARAMEL filling. Place 1-2 tsp of caramel into the centre of each biscuit. Freeze for at least 1 hour until the caramel is frozen
- 6. Melt the chocolate and dip each biscuit into it to coat. Optional sprinkle chopped peanuts over the top for decoration
