Ingredients
Nougat Base
- ¾ cup oat flour
- ¼ cup Pulse chocolate protein powder
- ¼ cup Kazidomi almond flour
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 2 to 4 tablespoons plant-based milk (adjust for texture)
- 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil (or avocado oil)
- A pinch of sea salt
Peanut Butter Caramel
- ½ cup creamy Pulse peanut butter
- 3 to 4 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
- A pinch of salt
- ⅓ to ½ cup crushed peanuts (adjust for desired crunch)
Chocolate Coating
- 1 ¼ cups chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil (optional, to thin the chocolate)
Recipe
Nougat Base
In a large bowl, mix all the nougat base ingredients, starting with the smaller amount of plant milk. Adjust texture by adding more milk if needed; the dough should be smooth—not too dry or sticky.
- If using a mini muffin pan, distribute the dough and press lightly into the bottom of each cavity, filling about ⅓ of the height.
- If using a loaf pan, line it with parchment paper and press the dough evenly at the bottom.
Peanut Butter Caramel
In a bowl, mix the peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla, coconut oil, and salt until smooth.
- Spread the caramel over the nougat base, filling up to ⅔ of the mold height.
- Sprinkle crushed peanuts on top of the caramel.
Chocolate Coating
Melt the chocolate with coconut oil in a double boiler or microwave (in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until smooth).
- Pour the melted chocolate over the caramel layer to fully cover each portion.
- If using a loaf pan, pour the chocolate over the whole caramel layer and tilt the pan to spread evenly.
Freeze for 3 to 4 hours until firm.
- If you used a mini muffin pan, unmold and store the bites in an airtight container in the freezer.
- If you used a loaf pan, cut into bars and store the same way.
