Description
These Healthy Kit Kat Bars are a delicious gluten-free and vegan treat made with wholesome ingredients like almond flour, maple syrup, and dairy-free chocolate, offering a nostalgic crunch without the guilt.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or agave nectar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1/2 cup crispy brown rice cereal (gluten-free)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, salt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until a dough forms. Add a splash of water if too crumbly.
- Transfer the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and flatten into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- In a saucepan over low heat, melt the dairy-free chocolate chips with coconut oil. Stir until smooth, then remove from heat to cool slightly.
- Cut the chilled wafer dough into rectangles. Dip each piece in the melted chocolate to coat completely and place on parchment paper.
- Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle crispy brown rice cereal on top of each bar. Return to the fridge to harden.
- Once set, serve chilled or at room temperature. Slice into smaller portions if desired.
Notes
- Add water or extra syrup if the dough is too crumbly.
- Melt chocolate over low heat to prevent burning.
- Chilling the dough is essential for clean cuts and firm texture.
- Use cookie cutters for evenly shaped bars.
- Add more coconut oil if chocolate coating is too thick.
- Experiment with ingredients for different flavors and dietary needs.
