And the crowd goes “HOORAY“! Finally, Healthy Vegan Tim Tams are here!
They’re made with ingredients that not only make them vegan but healthy and good for you as well. Yes, you didn’t read that incorrectly, I said good for you. Now you must be wondering how and think well a dessert full of chocolate as that can’t be healthy in any way? Don’t judge a book by its cover and give them a go!
Of course, we are still dealing with a dessert, but let’s treat it as that and not compare it with an apple or a super healthy low-fat salad. IT IS JUST NOT THE SAME! In my opinion, these TIM TAMS are already better for you than the original because you aren’t eating anything you cannot pronounce and you clearly have no additives in them!
For the coating (as I always do) I wrote a “raw” version where you melt cacao butter, cacao powder and agave syrup and a quick version where you simply melt dark vegan chocolate and coat the TIM TAMS in. Totally up to you! 🙂
Also, I used vegan protein powder to thicken the middle layer filling a little bit. If you are not into protein powder don’t worry! Simply substitute the 2 tbsp of protein powder with additional cacao powder or carob powder if you feel super fancy.
Have fun!

Ohhhh love that you’ve made tim tams!! Have you been to Australia? These look so delicious though! I’ll have to try them!!
I am not very familiar with wheat free flours maybe I would use spelt flour 1:1
Hi, This looks delicious as all your recipes..I notice this recipes uses all-purpose flour – please would recommended which wheat free flour and quantity you can substitute ? 🙂
Yes 🙂 brown sugar works as well 🙂
can you use something instead of the coconut sugar?
I’ve actually never heard of Tim Tams, so that means I’ve never had the real ones! But these ones sound and look to die for–so chocolatey, richly thick and soft on the inside!
It is just for one huge 🙂 I sliced it afterwards in squares 🙂
am i suppose to separate the dough for 2 biscuits? or the recipe is only for one?
You should!!
This I just might have to try! I’ve never tasted a Tim tam so this might be my only chance!
This is brilliant!
Thanks Dee! I am usually not a big fan of protein powder but if you have a good quality one why not?! ????
Love the idea of protein powder in the filling Lara, great idea! Whole recipe is amazingly healthy! D.
Super, danke! 🙂
Hallo Karo 🙂 ja hab ich gerade letzte Woche entdeckt im Migros im Bahnhof Bern bei den Alnatura Sachen. Ist so ein kleines Säckchen mit weissen “drops” drinnen 🙂
Mmhh, das tönt ja lecker, muss ich auch mal machen! Eine Frage: Wo kaufst du die cacao butter? Habe schon im Bioladen in Bern gesucht aber nicht gefunden. Hast du einen Tipp? Merci!
Ahhh you should! They are wonderful! Thanks for visiting my blog <3
I’m embarrassed to admit it, but I’ve never tried Tim Tams 🙁 I’ve got to try them soon, this version looks absolutely amazing!
Can you try quinoa or spelt flour? 🙂
Hi Lara,
Am I am to substitute the chestnut flour for a different flour?
Thanks! Can’t wait to make these 🙂
These look decedent, delicious, and so very wholesome!! I have never worked with chestnut flour before, nor do I think I have ever seen it! I will have to keep my eye out!! Pinned! xx
Tim Tams are my favourite treat ever – I just got my hands on the Espresso Martini ones and they taste amazing. I love your healthified version – definitely a recipe I need to make! Xx
