NO-BAKE PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE PINWHEELS (VEGAN & GLUTEN-FREE)

I’m really into quick and easy recipes at the moment that require only a handful of ingredients and it seems you’re loving them too!

After the success of my 3-ingredient chocolate crunch doughnuts (people went crazy for them on Pinterest!), I thought I would start creating more few ingredient recipes.

I see the appeal of simple recipes. Because I create recipes and bake treats for a living, I sometimes forget that not everyone has much time to make their own treats and so don’t give the time aspect of it much thought. But recently I found myself preoccupied with studies and clinic prep for my course that I haven’t had almost no time to do anything else. It made me realise that simple recipes might be the way forward if I want to encourage as many people as possible to create their own healthified treats.

Ingredients
For the chocolate layer

• 2 cup (230g) oat flour – plain rolled oats blended into a flour in the food processor. Use gluten-free oats if necessary.
• 1 cup (116g) cocoa
• 1/2 cup (8 tbsp) maple syrup or liquid sweetener of choice
• 5 tbsp melted coconut oil
• 3/4 tsp salt

For the peanut butter layer

• 2/3 cup smooth peanut butter
• 2 tbsp maple syrup or liquid sweetener of choice
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
• Pinch of salt (optional)

Method

1. To make the chocolate layer – In a large bowl, mix together the oat flour, cocoa and salt, then mix in the maple syrup, vanilla and melted coconut oil. You should end up with a dough consistency. Roll out between 2 pieces of parchment paper to about 1cm thickness. 
2. To make the peanut butter layer – Mix the peanut butter, peanut butter, vanilla and salt in a bowl, then spread onto the chocolate layer.
