if you’re looking for a sweet treat that’s rich, chocolatey, and surprisingly good for you, these no-bake vegan chocolate rolls with peanut butter date filling are just what you need.
not only do they satisfy your sweet tooth, but they also offer a healthier alternative to traditional desserts.
taste and texture:
these chocolate rolls have a super deep, rich flavor thanks to the combination of cocoa powder and almond flour, they’re just so good!
the filling is a gooey mix of sweet medjool dates and creamy peanut butter, with a hint of vanilla and a pinch of sea salt to enhance all the flavors.
the rolls are firm yet soft, with a satisfying chew from the dates, making each bite feel indulgent with wholesome foods!
why these are a better treat for you:
unlike most sweets loaded with refined sugar and unhealthy fats, these chocolate rolls are made with wholesome ingredients.
the almond flour and oat flour provide a good source of healthy fats and fiber, while the dates offer natural sweetness and essential nutrients like potassium and magnesium.
the combination of almond butter and peanut butter gives you a dose of healthy fats and protein, helping to keep you fuller longer.
plus, they’re vegan and gluten-free, so they fit into a wide range of dietary preferences :)!
substitution options:
while this recipe calls for a mix of almond butter and peanut butter, you can easily use all peanut butter if that’s your preference, i just love the combo of both!
peanut butter adds a richer, more robust flavor that pairs beautifully with the chocolate.
if you’re allergic to peanuts or simply want a different flavor, you could also use cashew butter, sunflower seed butter, or even pecan butter.
each will bring its own delish twist to the recipe, so feel free to experiment and find your favorite combination.
how to make them:
making these chocolate rolls is as easy as it gets.
start by blending oat flour, almond flour, cocoa powder, almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a food processor until a thick dough forms.
once the dough is ready, roll it out between two sheets of parchment paper to prevent sticking.
for the filling, blend medjool dates, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt until smooth.
spread this filling evenly over the dough, then carefully roll it up into a log.
pop the roll in the freezer for 45 minutes until firm, then slice into individual rolls. it’s that simple!
storage:
these rolls are best stored in the freezer to keep them firm.
when you’re ready to enjoy one, just take it out and let it thaw for a few minutes.
they soften up quickly but still hold their shape, making them perfect for a quick treat anytime.
whether you’re looking for a healthier dessert option or just want something delicious to enjoy, these no-bake vegan chocolate rolls with peanut butter date filling are sure to become a favorite.
