These Healthy GF Vegan Twix Bars are so insanely delicious, you won’t be able to stop eating! Just as tasty as the real thing, but SO MUCH HEALTHIER! A layer of vanilla shortbread, topped with super fudgy gooey caramel, all coated in silky chocolate!



We love recreating our childhood favourite foods the vegan way and as less processed as possible. We used to love Twix bars but apart from being non-vegan, they are loaded with bad highly processed stuff. Our version is so much healthier that you can actually feel good about putting it in your body.



These homemade Vegan Twix Bars are gluten-free and easily made nut-free too. They are also refined sugar-free! Perfect for a healthier vegan candy that everyone will love!



Made with very simple ingredients, you need to make them ASAP!
If you’re nut-free, you can swap the cashew butter for sunflower seed butter, or skip the cashew butter altogether and simply add 1/2 cup more of pitted Medjool dates to the blender.





In order to make the shortbread the healthiest possible way, we use vegan vanilla yoghurt. This will undoubtedly make these bars much much healthier than most, but they won’t be as crunchy. If you want to achieve the crunchy more traditional Twix-like texture, swap the yoghurt with melted refined coconut oil.

Equipment
Ingredients
Shortbread
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 3/4 cup oat flour
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar, or raw sugar
- 5 tbsp vegan vanilla yoghurt, if you want the bars to be crunchier, sub the yoghurt with melted refined coconut oil
- 1 tbsp vegan unsalted butter block, melted
- 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
Caramel
- 1 1/2 cups Medjool dates, pitted
- 1/3 cup homemade cashew butter, or almond butter or sunflower seed butter for nut-free version
- 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp vegan unsalted butter block, melted
- 10 tbsp water
Chocolate Coating
- 400 g vegan dark chocolate
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin cold pressed coconut oil
- Flaked sea salt, to sprinkle on top
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC/356ºF.
- In a mixing bowl, stir in all the shortbread ingredients (almond flour, oat flour, coconut sugar, vegan vanilla yoghurt, melted vegan unsalted butter block, and pure vanilla extract). Mix using a sturdy silicone spatula until the mixture is dough-like.
- Line a 6×6 baking dish with parchment paper.
- Press the dough into the parchment paper-lined baking dish, smoothing it over with a silicone spatula or using your fingers. Using a fork, poke several holes into the dough.
- Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 17-22 minutes, or until the crust is slightly golden and ready.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 20 minutes. Let cool completely before adding the caramel on top.
- In the meantime, make the caramel:
- In a high-speed blender, combine all the caramel ingredients (Medjool dates, cashew butter, pure vanilla extract, melted vegan unsalted butter block, and water), and blend until very smooth and creamy.
- Once the shortbread is cool, pour the caramel sauce on top. Place the baking dish in the freezer for 6 hours.
- Remove from the baking dish and slice into 15-20 bars. Place them onto a parchment paper-lined plate and freeze again for 4 hours or up to overnight.
- Using a double boiler, melt the vegan dark chocolate and coconut oil, stirring until well dissolved and nicely melted.
- Take the bars out of the freezer.
- Proceed to dip a bar in the melted chocolate, coating it evenly, with the help of two forks.
- Transfer the chocolate-covered bar to a sheet of parchment paper and repeat for all bars.
- Place the chocolate covered bars into the freezer for a couple of hours before serving.
- Serve them at room temperature and enjoy, they are super delicious!
Notes
- Store them in an air-tight container, in the freezer, for up to 3 months.
- If you’re nut-free, you can swap the cashew butter for sunflower seed butter, or skip the cashew butter altogether and simply add 1/2 cup more of pitted Medjool dates to the blender.
- In order to make the shortbread the healthiest possible way, we use vegan vanilla yoghurt. This will undoubtedly make these bars much much healthier than most, but they won’t be as crunchy. If you want to achieve the crunchy more traditional Twix-like texture, swap the yoghurt with melted refined coconut oil.

Can I get an AMEN for this recipe? Twix is my all time favorite candy bar! And you made it vegan, gf, and healthy, which makes me cry tears of happiness! YOU ROCK!
I can’t believe how simple these were… I had all the ingredients already so made them right away. So happy they’re gluten-free! They taste amazing. Froze half of them and they taste so good even after having frozen them 💙
I was a classic Twix girl myself, but since I went vegan I couldn’t have anymore. This recipe has been a miracle to me. Tastes the same but has no refined sugar in them. Now I don’t even have to feel guilty about it, yay!!
I made these yesterday for my wife and they are amazing! She can’t stop eating them, and is already asking me to make them again, they are so easy that I might just do it. Love them!!
