I love Larabars! They have all natural, simple ingredients. The down side to them is they are very expensive, so I decided to make my own!
Cashew Cookie (Makes 4 bars)
-2/3 cup pitted dried dates
-1 cup cashews
Apple Pie (Makes 4 bars)
-2/3 cup dates
-1/2 cup almonds
-1/2 cup walnuts
-1/2 cup dried apples (optional, or just add 1/4 cup more dates)
- 2 tbs cinnamon
Brownie Cookie (Makes 4 bars)
-2/3 cup dates
-1/2 cup almonds
-1/2 cup walnuts
-2 tbs unsweetened cocoa
Process dried fruit in a food processor until a big clump forms. Then process nuts into small pieces. Combine all ingredients in food processor. Form into bars.
Each bar has about 200 calories, but they are extremely filling so you don't need more than one. A great, wholesome snacks!
*Recipe alteration: For more moist, more dessert like larabars, add another 1/4 cup of dates to any recipe.
*Tip: Dates come really cheap in bulk at Winco, and nuts come the cheapest at Costco (just freeze any left over nuts to avoid them spoiling).
