I personally didn't know what a larabar was. A friend was just talking about them, and mentioned a website for making them yourself. This is from the cleaneatingonline website. You can subsitute any dried fruit for the below...bananas, apples, peaches, etc. It's sort of an equivalent to a fruit snack that you buy at the store. Just another good idea for a snack or treat!!
Ingredients
- Very Cherry: 1/4 c. dates (roughly chopped, whole), 1/4 c. dried cherries or cranberries, 1/3 c. whole pecans, almonds, or walnuts, 1/8 tsp. cinnamon
- Cashew Cookie Dough: 1/3 c. dates, 1/2 c. raw cashews
- Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough: 1/3 c. dates, 1/2 c. raw cashews, 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract, pinch of cinnamon, 1/2 oz. finely chopped semisweet chocolate
- Blueberry Bliss: 1/4 c. dried blueberries, 1/4 c. dates, 1/3 c. almonds, 1/2 tsp. finely grated lemon zest, 1 drop almond extract
Instructions
Lay two pieces of plastic wrap on counter. Place fruit in food processor and pulse until it has a paste-like texture. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add nuts to food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add nuts to bowl with the fruit. Add all other ingredients. Use fingers to knead into a paste.
Divide mixture in half. Place each half on plastic wrap. Wrap plastic around mixture and form into a bar shape. Wrap tightly in plastic and store in the refrigerator. Makes 2 bars.
