These healthy Twix bites are my take on the original much loved treat. Made with just a handful of better-for-you ingredients and they’re not bake, so you don’t even need to turn on your oven!
There’s something so irresistible about the classic Twix bar – the layers of crunchy biscuit, gooey caramel, and silky chocolate. But if you’ve ever wished for a version that satisfies your sweet tooth without the sugar crash, these healthy Twix bites are a game-changer. They’re no bake with less refined sugar, more fibre and healthy fats.
Why I love making these healthy Twix bites:
Instead of refined sugar and processed flours, these healthy Twix bars call for more wholesome ingredients like oats, almonds and tahini. These whole-food swaps bring fibre, protein, and healthy fats to the table, turning dessert into something more balanced, but still as delicious.
This recipe proves that indulgence doesn’t have to come at the expense of wellness. By swapping out dairy caramel for a tahini-maple blend and trading flour for oats and almonds, you end up with a treat that feels indulgent but fuels you with real nutrition.
What you need to make these healthy Twix bites:
Oats – a source of fibre and slow-digesting carbs that help stabilise blood sugar and keep you fuller for longer. They also provide a soft chewiness that mimics the biscuit crunch when pressed and chilled.
Ground almonds – contribute a subtle sweetness and a boost of vitamin E, magnesium, and healthy monounsaturated fats. Ground almonds also help bind the base while adding a delicate nutty flavour that complements the caramel and chocolate layers.
Maple syrup – steps in as a natural sweetener, bringing antioxidants and a gentler glycemic impact compared to refined white sugar. It adds a subtle caramel-like flavour, so you’re not missing out on that indulgent taste.
Tahini – adds a nutty, creamy depth. Made from ground sesame seeds, it’s full of healthy fats, minerals like calcium and magnesium, and plant-based protein. The earthy flavour balances the sweetness, preventing the caramel layer from tasting overly sugary.
Coconut oil – I only used a little coconut oil in the base to help it set in the fridge since we’re not baking them. You can substitute with butter or a dairy-free spread if you prefer.
How to make these healthy Twix bites:
-
Mix the oat flour, ground almonds and salt in a bowl, then pour in the maple syrup and melted coconut oil. Combine to form a dough.
-
Divide between 9 mini cupcake bases and press down with a small spoon (I use a measuring teaspoon).
-
Mix the tahini, maple syrup and salt in another bowl and pour over the bases. Freeze until completely set.
-
Once frozen, gently remove from the moulds and dip in melted dark chocolate. Alternatively you can place on a fork and drizzle melted chocolate on top with a spoon.
-
Refrigerate until set and enjoy!
