Healthy Vegan Tim Tams

Mrz 20, 2016 · 22 Comments

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!

Healthy Vegan Tim Tams

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.

    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

    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!
