Vegan millionaires shortbread

5th May 2020

I created this delicious vegan recipe for the amazing team at Om & Ah. I actually went to university with one of the founders Charlotte so we were both keen to collaborate!

Om & Ah create beautiful casual wear with amazing empowering quotes on them. Here I am wearing the long sleeve top which says ‘In a world where you can be anything, be kind’. I think this message has never been more important to share. All we can do is be kind to one another, respect one another and we will all get through this together. One thing that helps me relive stress and anxiety is baking and being in kitchen, I hope this recipe can help you do the same.

Any way back to this recipe, I absolutely love how easy it is to make a healthier version of the classic millionaires shortbread and it’s just as delicious. A base of oats, ground almonds, coconut oil and maple syrup. A thick salted date caramel and a chocolatey topping.

These make the perfect gift because they keep fresh for 5 days. I like to put two or three in a cellophane bag and tie with ribbon and drop at friends and family to brighten their day.
