These Vegan Strawberry Mousse Tarts are healthy, easy, not too sweet and in all a delicious summer dessert. The crust is vegan and gluten-free and made with a mixture of nuts, oats and vegan butter.
You may already know I’m a great fun of easy and, whenever possible, quick food. Although always good-looking and most of the time on the sweet side ;-)) And those Vegan Strawberry Mousse Tarts are no exception.
The baked oat cups are made in no time. Just throw the ingredients in a food processor and pulse for a moment to combine everything well. Form de cups using a muffin pan and bake for 10 minutes.
As for the filling, I love strawberries so decided to pair the oat cups with a velvety and creamy strawberry mousse. The mousse is also great served alone. By the way, the cups also marry well with chocolate mousse. Here you’ve got the link to the recipe for my Vegan Chocolate Mousse Oat Cups.
How to make baked oat cups
- Since the butter is ready in a few minutes, I first heat the oven. Set it to 300°F/150ºC.Then you can either spray a 12-cup regular muffin pan with cooking spray or line with baking cups.
- Note that I used a slightly smaller muffin pan this time, so you may get 8 cups instead of the 9 with the same amount of butter.
- Place the ingredients for the oat cups in a food processor and process until the almonds resemble the mixture resembles coarse sand.
- Divide mixture evenly among muffin cups. Bake 10 to 15 minutes or just until set. Let cool down on a wire rack.

Instructions

- Transfer the mixture into a medium bowl and whip with a hand mixer until combined, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the oat cups from the muffin pan. You will need to turn upside down and gently prize out with a knife. Then pour the strawberry filling into each oat cup and pop in the fridge for 30 minutes to set the strawberry mixture.
