Introduction

These Vegan Matcha Twix Bars combine a buttery shortbread base with a luscious matcha-infused caramel layer, all coated in creamy vegan white chocolate. They’re a delightful twist on the classic treat, perfect for matcha lovers and those seeking a plant-based dessert.

A stack of six rectangular treats is shown on a white marbled surface. Each treat has a smooth, light beige outer coating with a glossy green drizzle on top. One treat is placed on top of the stack, cut in half to show three layers inside: a thin top layer of creamy light beige, a middle thick layer of bright green with a glossy texture, and a bottom layer of crumbly light yellow. The green drizzle slightly drips down the sides of the treats. The background is softly blurred in light tones, focusing attention on the stacked treats. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour (120g)
1/2 cup vegan butter (113g), softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar (50g)
2 tbsp sweetened condensed oat milk (30 ml)
1/2 cup sweetened condensed oat milk (120 ml)
1/4 cup granulated sugar (50g)
2 tbsp coconut oil (30g)
1 tbsp 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 1/4 cup granulated sugar until smooth.
Step 2: Add the 2 tablespoons of sweetened condensed oat milk and all-purpose flour to the creamed mixture. 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. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
Step 4: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the 1/2 cup sweetened condensed oat milk, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, coconut oil, and matcha powder.
Step 5: Stir continuously until the mixture begins to bubble. Reduce heat to low and stir until it reaches a caramel-like consistency, being careful not to boil.
Step 6: Pour the matcha caramel over the cooled shortbread base in the moulds. Refrigerate or freeze for at least 1 hour to set.
Step 7: Melt the vegan white chocolate in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Step 8: Remove the matcha caramel bars from the refrigerator. Carefully remove each bar from the moulds and dip fully into the melted white chocolate coating.
Step 9: Place coated bars on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until the chocolate hardens.
Step 10: Once set, your Vegan Matcha Twix Bars are ready to enjoy!

Tips & Variations

For a nuttier flavor, sprinkle chopped toasted nuts on top of the matcha caramel before coating with white chocolate.
If you can’t find sweetened condensed oat milk, use another plant-based condensed milk alternative.
Adjust the matcha powder amount based on how strong you want the matcha flavor to be.
Use parchment paper to line your baking pan for easier removal if you don’t have silicone moulds.

Storage

Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To enjoy at room temperature, let them sit out for 10-15 minutes before serving. You can also freeze them for up to 1 month, thawing in the fridge overnight before eating.

How to Serve

Two pieces of small square treats are stacked on a white marbled surface, showing a clear cross-section. Each treat has three layers: a bottom crumbly golden-brown base, a thick middle layer of smooth light green filling, and an outer white coating around all sides. The top is decorated with thin green lines of drizzle. In the blurred background, more pieces of the same treat are arranged. The lighting is soft and natural, highlighting the texture and color contrast. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

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

Yes, you can substitute with regular sweetened condensed milk if you are not vegan or restricted to plant-based options. The texture and sweetness will be similar.

How do I prevent the white chocolate from melting too quickly?

Make sure to fully chill the bars before coating and store them in the refrigerator to keep the chocolate firm. Also, dip quickly and allow excess chocolate to drip off before setting on parchment paper.
