- ¼ cup maple syrup or honey
For the Filling
- 2 peaches, diced
- 3 tbsp maple syrup or honey
- 2 tbsp water
For the Topping

- 3 tbsp yogurt
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Tartlet Crust
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- In a bowl, mix together the oats, ground almonds, almond butter, and maple syrup (or honey). The mixture should have a sticky texture.
- Divide the mixture evenly into four tartlet molds and press it down firmly to create the base and sides.

Step 2: Prepare the Peach Filling
- In a small pot, combine the diced peaches, maple syrup (or honey), and water.
- Cook on medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are soft and slightly caramelized. Let the mixture cool.
Step 3: Assemble the Tartlets
- Once the tartlet crusts are cool, spoon the peach filling evenly into each crust.
- In a small bowl, mix the vanilla pudding with the yogurt until smooth.
- Add a dollop of the pudding-yogurt mixture on top of the peaches.
Step 4: Chill and Serve
- Place the tartlets in the fridge for at least 1 hour to set.
- Serve chilled and enjoy your healthy dessert!
Notes
