how to make Healthy Kit Kat Recipe (Gluten Free, Vegan) – Bake It Paleo

Make thin, crisp wafers, bake them until firm, then coat with melted dairy-free chocolate. Work in small batches so the wafers stay crisp.

Ingredients :

• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/3 cup tapioca starch (or arrowroot)
• 2 tablespoons coconut flour
• 2 tablespoons coconut sugar (or maple syrup)
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
• 3–4 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk (or other plant milk)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate coating:

• 1 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for shine)

Directions :

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, mix almond flour, tapioca starch, coconut flour, coconut sugar, and salt. Stir until even.
3. Add melted coconut oil, almond milk, and vanilla. Stir to form a soft dough. If it is dry, add 1 teaspoon more milk at a time.
4. Place dough between two sheets of parchment. Roll to about 1/8 inch thick. Trim edges to make a rectangle.
5. Cut the rectangle into bars about 1 inch by 3 inches (or size you like). Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
6. Move bars to the lined baking sheet with space between them. Bake 8–10 minutes. The wafers should be set and just turning light golden.
7. Let wafers cool fully on a rack. They will crisp as they cool.
8. Melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a small bowl over a low pan of simmering water, or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
9. Dip each wafer in the melted chocolate to coat one side, place back on parchment and chill until the chocolate firms. For full coverage, dip a second time on the other side and chill again.
10. Store chilled until the chocolate is set, then enjoy.
