Cacao Tartlets with Oats and Walnuts

Instead of making a regular, full-sized tart, why not trying with these mini, one-serve cacao tartlets which are too cute to be true. This is a completely vegan and gluten-free recipe that combines a couple of powerful ingredients into a wonderful dessert or sweet snack. Furthermore, the recipe doesn’t require usual tart baking which makes things extremely simple.
