Low Carb Twix Bars

SERVES: 15         PREP: 5          COOK: 50     READY:55 minutes

INGREDIENTS:

BASE

1/2cup of buckwheat flour
2/3 cup of coconut flour
Pinch of salt
½ cup of melted cold pressed  coconut oil
1/2 a cup of liquid monk fruit or sugar free maple syrup

CARAMEL LAYER

125g of cashew butter
5 tbl liquid monk fruit
5 tbl melted cold pressed coconut oil
2 pinches of salt
1 tsp of vanilla extract or bean seeds
2 tbl of honey

2 scoops protein powder – I used salted caramel

CHOCOLATE LAYER

150g 85% Dark Greens and Blacks chocolate (1.5 blocks)
pinch of salt

METHOD:

  1. Preheat oven to 180c and line a small baking tin with baking paper.
    To make base, combine flours and salt in a bowl. Stir in the liquid monk fruit and melted coconut oil until fully combined. Should form a smooth dough. Using your fingers press the mixture firmly into a square baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake for 15 minutes, until golden brown. Then remove from the oven and place straight into the fridge to set for 10 minutes before you top with the caramel layer.

  2. For the caramel filling, add all ingredients to thermo vermoa/cook 2 mins, 80deg, speed 2. Use a rubber spatula to spread all over the base and pop into fridge or freezer whilst you make chocolate. If you don’t have a thermos then blitz in a food processor until combine and no lumps and heat in a double boiler until smooth.

  3. Melt chocolate over a double boiler stirring until melted and smooth. Pour over the top and smooth over with a rubber spatula.

  4. Allow to set in fridge or freezer for 30 minutes, then cut into 15 fingers.

  5. Store in fridge or freezer.

Additional Notes: Unlike a real twix bar this one won’t spike your blood sugar levels and is gluten free!  These will last in the fridge for up to 7 days, otherwise freeze in an airtight container with baking paper between each layer.

Note: The liquid monk fruit I used was Lakanto Monk Fruit; no sugar added maple flavored syrup from Woolworths, or you can use Natvia Sugar Free Maple Flavoured Syrup from Coles.
