Ingredients
Base:
- 1 ½ cups oats
- ½ cup shredded coconut
- 3 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- Pinch of salt
Caramel Filling:
- 10 medjool dates, pitted
- ½ cup tahini
- 2 scoops ATP Science Noway Collagen Protein (Coffee Flavour)

Chocolate Topping:

Method
-
Prepare the Base
- Grease mini tart tins or a muffin tray.
- Soften medjool dates by placing them in a bowl and covering with boiling water.
- In a food processor, blitz the base ingredients until a sticky, coarse mixture forms. Add 1–2 tbsp of water if needed.
-
Shape the Tarts
- Spoon 1–2 tbsp of the base mixture into each tin or muffin hole, pressing it evenly along the sides.
- For a baked option, preheat the oven to 180°C and bake for 10 minutes. For a raw option, place the tins in the freezer to set.
-
Create the Caramel Filling
- Drain the softened dates and blend in the food processor until a sticky paste forms.
- Add tahini, Noway Coffee Protein, salt, and 2 tbsp of water. Blend for 5 minutes, scraping the sides as needed. Add an additional 2 tbsp of water and blend until smooth.
-
Assemble the Tarts
- Spoon the caramel filling evenly onto each base. Freeze for a minimum of 2 hours.
-
Add the Chocolate Topping
- Once the caramel is semi-firm, remove the tarts from the freezer and drizzle melted dark chocolate over the top.
- Return the tarts to the freezer for another 2 hours to set completely.
