Introduction

These Vegan Matcha Twix Bars combine a buttery shortbread base with a luscious matcha caramel layer, all coated in smooth vegan white chocolate. This delightful treat offers a perfect balance of sweet, creamy, and earthy flavors, ideal for anyone craving a sophisticated chocolate bar without animal products.

This image shows a close-up of six small rectangular treats stacked in a pyramid on a white marbled surface. Each treat has three layers: the bottom layer is a light beige crumbly base, the middle layer is a thick, smooth green filling, and the entire treat is coated in a shiny, light cream-colored glaze. Light green drizzle decorates the top of each piece, adding texture and visual interest. One treat is cut in half and placed on top, showing the inside layers clearly. The background is soft and blurred with light green and cream tones. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour (120g)
½ cup vegan butter (113g), softened
¼ cup granulated sugar (50g)
2 tablespoons sweetened condensed oat milk (30 ml)
½ cup sweetened condensed oat milk (120 ml)
¼ cup granulated sugar (50g)
2 tablespoons coconut oil (30g)
1 tablespoon matcha powder (5g)
1 cup vegan white chocolate (180g), melted

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). In a mixing bowl, cream together the vegan butter and ¼ cup sugar until smooth.
Step 2: Add the 2 tablespoons sweetened condensed oat milk and flour. Mix until a dough forms.
Step 3: Press the dough evenly into silicone chocolate moulds or a lined baking pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden, then remove and let cool completely.
Step 4: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine ½ cup sweetened condensed oat milk, ¼ cup sugar, coconut oil, and matcha powder. Stir continuously until the mixture bubbles, then reduce heat to low and stir until caramel-like consistency forms, taking care not to boil.
Step 5: Pour the matcha caramel over the cooled shortbread base in the moulds. Refrigerate or freeze for at least 1 hour to set.
Step 6: Melt the vegan white chocolate gently using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Step 7: Remove the set matcha caramel bars from the refrigerator. Carefully unmould each bar and dip fully into the melted white chocolate to coat.
Step 8: Place coated bars on parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until chocolate hardens.
Step 9: Once set, the Vegan Matcha Twix Bars are ready to enjoy!

Tips & Variations

Lightly grease silicone moulds for easier removal of the bars.
Use high-quality matcha powder and vegan white chocolate for the best flavor.
Drizzle leftover melted white chocolate mixed with matcha powder over the bars for decoration.
Add flaked almonds or a sprinkle of sea salt on top before the chocolate hardens for extra texture and flavor.
Allow each layer to set fully before adding the next to ensure clean, distinct layers.

Storage

Store the Vegan Matcha Twix Bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. To enjoy, remove from fridge and let sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before serving. These bars can also be frozen for longer storage; thaw in the refrigerator before eating.

FAQs

Can I use regular condensed milk instead of sweetened condensed oat milk?

Yes, but using oat milk keeps the recipe vegan. Regular condensed milk will work but is not plant-based.

What if I don’t have silicone moulds?

You can bake the shortbread layer in a lined baking pan and cut it into bars once cooled. Just press the caramel and chocolate layers onto the cut bars carefully.
