The other day at the gas station I caught myself. As if in a trance, I almost wanted to reach for a well-known Chocolate bar reach for. A dream of Coconut flakes coated with melt-in-the-mouth chocolate. No, I thought, today I’ll make myself a healthier version. After all, I don’t want to give up this sweet sin completely, and sometimes you need a really good one. Chocolate bar. Should also make happy?
The Vegan Mutiny on the Bounty
If only sailors back then had known how easy vegan bounties were to make. I’m sure they would have made some. Whereas the bars would probably have melted away in their hands at the temperatures. For our today’s Recipe we actually need only 6 ingredients. Coconut oil, shredded coconut, agave syrup, almond flour, bourbon vanilla and a pinch of salt. To this is added a coating of delicious dark Chocolate . If you like, you can also use vegan milk chocolate.
Vegan Bounty What?
Exactly! Heard correctly and manufacture, as promised, is quite simple. The filling is simply made from the individual ingredients stirred together, hand to form a square Block molded and covered with dark dark chocolate.
The size of the Bolt you decide all by yourself and if you like, you can also make vegan mini bounties out of them. Do they fit for me just always (ok maybe not exactly to the Breakfast ), best as a vegan dessert or snack.
Still a small info to the Almond flour Here you can also use ground almonds.
Almond flour vs. ground almonds
What is actually the Difference between almond flour and ground almonds?
- Ground Almonds: Here, almonds are simply finely ground whole with or without shells and still contain all valuable oils, vitamins and minerals
- Almond flour: Arises as a “waste product” during the extraction of almond oil. Accordingly here the valuable oil already completely or partially removed, depending on whether you use deoiled or buy partially oiled almond flour
In general, I think both are good, however, almond flour and ground almonds serve a different purpose. Almond flour is actually more of a flour that is drier and absorbs liquid better. Ground almonds tend to make the dough heavier, oilier and more substantial. I note with each Recipe which product is better here.
The bars go perfectly with a hot chocolate (for chocolate shock), Immune Booster Latte , Chocolate Chia Smoothie , or golden milk . Alternatively I recommend my Bounty Tart .
The simple vegan candy bars are:
- Coconutty
- chocolatey
- Delicately melting
- Natural sweetened
- Quickly made
Let’s go with this dream of Coconut and Chocolate . I hope you enjoy “baking” and of course about a review at the bottom of this page. If you post a picture, use the hashtag #veganevibes.
