Healthy Vegan Peanut Butter Slice

I’ve been all about making no-bake treats recently, not because it’s Summer or anything (if anything we’re dead in the middle of Winter here in the land down under), but simply because I am a lazy shit. No other excuses necessary. Today I bring with me in my little box of treats, this Healthy Vegan Peanut Butter Slice recipe. I have a recipe for another no-bake Peanut Butter slice here, one that is a little less healthy but equally as delicious. Check that one out if you’re not about dat healthy life.

Today’s recipe for this Vegan Peanut Butter Slice is just as easy as its predecessor, except we aren’t using Digestive Biscuits and all that jazz. I make the base for this slice with some Desiccated Coconut, Agave Nectar, Cacao Powder, Peanuts and Peanut Butter. You simply whizz everything up in a food processor and then press into the bottom of a lined 6 inch square tin. Easy!

Next up, the Peanut Butter Slice filling. This one’s just as easy as the base – melt up some Peanut Butter, Coconut Oil, Agave Nectar, Sea Salt and there you have it, an instant peanut butter filling that is rather reminiscent of a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. Once you layer that onto the base, chill for an hour or two before preparing the Chocolate Topping. All that you have to do to prepare the luscious crowning to this Vegan Peanut Butter Slice is melt up some Dark Chocolate with a touch of Agave, Sea Salt, Instant Espresso, Coconut Oil and a dash of Peanut Butter because why the heck not!

Pour your Chocolate Topping onto your slice and then refrigerate everything for a good 4-6 hours until everything is nicely solidified, after which you can slice this bad boy into however many pieces your heart desires. And heyyyyy presto, Healthy Vegan Peanut Butter Slice that doesn’t come with a long ass story about how my boyfriend loves walking in the park holding my hands and listening to the birds scream at 7 in the morning. Just kidding, I’d rather die than do that. Scroll down to grab the full recipe, you’ll thank me later! As always, tag me on Instagram if you try any of my recipes out!
