Ingredients 
 

For the crust:

  • 1/2 cup oat flour
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean powder
  • 4 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon coconut milk or more as needed

For the peanut butter filling:

  • 3/4 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup full fat coconut milk
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons sugar or other sweeteners of choice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the chocolate topping:

  • 1/4 cup semi-sweet vegan chocolate
  • 1.5 tablespoons coconut milk

Instructions 

  • Make the crust: In a bowl, add all the dry ingredients. That's the oat flour, almond flour, cocoa powder, salt, and mix really well.
  • Add in the maple syrup and mix in. Then add in coconut milk one teaspoon at a time to mix in until the mixture starts to stick together. You don't want it to be a very sticky dough. Just that mixture should kind of stick easily when you press together.
  • Divide it into 3 and then transfer it to 3 mini tart pans then press them out evenly. You can oil your hands if the mixture is too sticky and then press it out.
  • Use a fork to make holes in the dough. Put the pans on a baking sheet to bake, then bake at preheated 350 degrees Fahrenheit(180 degrees C) for 9 minutes.
  • Remove the pans from the oven. Let the crust cool for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make your peanut filling: Add the coconut milk to a saucepan over medium heat. Once the coconut milk is somewhat hot, add in the peanut butter, sugar, vanilla, and then mix in.
  • It will take a minute for the peanut butter to start mixing in. As soon as the mixture starts to lightly bubble on the edges, take it off heat. Keep whisking until the mixture is smooth.
  • Divide this mixture into the 3 tart pans and even it out with a spatula.Put the tarts in the fridge to chill for 15 mins.
  • Melt the chocolate: add the chocolate chips and coconut milk to a bowl over a double boiler or in the microwave until it is well melted. In the microwave, you can microwave for 20-25 seconds then whisk a little bit and microwave again for 10-15 seconds and then whisk again.
  • Remove the pans from the fridge. They need to chill only for 10-15 minutes. Then top the tarts however you like.
  • Make any designs with the chocolate on top. You can also add some crushed peanut on top for dressing the tarts.
  • Let these tarts chill in the fridge for another hour so that the peanut butter filling sets a bit. Then slice and serve.

Tips:

  • These tarts can be stored in the fridge for several days so it’s great if you need to make a vegan dessert ahead of a party or special occasion.
  • To make these Nutfree: Use sunflower seed butter.
  • For decorating these fill the melted chocolate into a piping bag. Then cut a small hole in bottom corner of bag. Working from center to outer edge, pipe chocolate to form a spiral design above the peanut butter. Working from center of spiral to outer edge, draw tip of knife or a toothpick lightly through the spiral to form web design.
