Secondly HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all!! I hope this year is filled with lots of healthy delicious treats! Here is my first post for 2015 i hope you all enjoy!

Peanut Butter & Chocolate Swirl Tart

Ingredients:

Crust:
1/2 cup Coconut Flour
1/2 cup Almond Flour

1/3 cup Brown Rice Flour or Rye Flour or use additional Almond Flour

1 egg (*Optional)

1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

3 Tbsp water

1/3 cup coconut Oil (*melted) – depending on your flour may require slightly more

Peanut Butter Layer:

½ Cup Peanuts (*you can use any nuts you like)

1/3 Cup coconut Oil

2 Tbsp Honey

1/3 Cup Peanut butter (*or any Nut butter, I used Almond)

Chocolate:
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup raw cacao powder
2 tbsp honey

Method:

Crust:

Preheat oven to 180 degrees.

Mix all dry ingredients together in a bowl.

Add your vanilla extract, water and coconut oil and mix together until it forms a biscuit-type dough

Grease a baking dish. Tip your dough into the dish and flatten down with your hands ensuring you cover the entire dish. Put dish in the oven for 10minutes until slightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool.

Peanut Butter Layer:

Mix all ingredients together in a blender until it forms a thick paste texture.

Once the crust is cool, smooth the peanut butter layer out over the crust and flatten it down with your hands.

Chocolate:

Melt coconut oil in a pot over another pot of boiling water

Once melted remove from heat and mix in the Cacao powder and honey

Pour your chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer of your tart. With a spoon drizzle nut butter over your chocolate layer and use a knife to create a marble effect.

Leave in the fridge to set for 1-2hours (*preferably overnight)

Serve & enjoy! J
