Happy New Year everyone 😁 🎉 🎊 and welcome to 2017’s monthly Peanut Butter Bash. Because its January and everyone is thinking about health and trying to make good choices when it comes to food, we decided to make our peanut butter treat with oats this month. And to fully get into the swing of a healthy start for 2017 these Vegan Refined Sugar Free Peanut Butter Oat Thins are on the healthy side. If you fancy joining in on the fun then check out the bottom of the post for details.

 

 

A Little Bit Healthy For January

 

We are all trying to make up for that extra helping or that extra slice of pie we had over the holidays. And these vegan refined sugar free peanut butter oat thins are a great way to help make it up. They, as the title suggests are refined sugar-free. I used light agave syrup as the sweeter but maple syrup works just as well. I use wholemeal/whole wheat flour for a little fibre boost and unsweetened almond milk to keep them vegan.

 

The peanut butter is also full of good naturally occurring fats. All in all these thin’s are tasty, naturally sweet perfect little peanut butter oat treats.

 

 

 

Add-Ins

 

I have used a combination of vegan dark chocolate chips and golden sultanas, it’s really just what I had kicking around in my cupboards, but feel free to switch the inclusions up. Though I would recommend keeping some kind of sultanas in as they help add a little natural sweetness. But sunflower seeds, any kind of nuts, any kind of dried fruit – cherries, strawberries, blueberries, apricots will all work well in these vegan refined sugar free peanut butter oat thins.

 

 

Easy To Make

 

These really are simple to make, all mixed in one bowl using just one spoon! That’s it. That is all you will need to get these onto a plate near you. The amount of batter is purposely quite small so these slices do remain on the thin side. I find they bake much better and far more even that way. But they are also nicer like that too. These thin’s are a cross between a flapjack and a cake slice so making them too thick would make them harder to bake-off in a reasonable amount of time. They are soft and fluffy like cake but chewy and oaty like a flapjack. You’ll just need to try them to understand what I mean!

 

 

Tasty, pretty healthy, no refined sugars, naturally occurring fats all served up in a tasty peanut buttery oaty treat. What more could you ask for in January?
