Larabar is a popular gluten free energy bar made up of unsweetened fruits and nuts. Larabars can be purchased at your local drug store, health food store or where vitamins and health supplements are sold. However, as delicious as they are, Larabars are a bit expensive, especially if you want to eat them after a workout every day or buy them by the bundle. You can save a lot of money and make your own tasty version at home.
Instructions
1. Pour one cup of seedless/pitted whole dates and one cup of raw unsalted cashews in a blender or food processor. Pulse until the fruit and nut mixture becomes thick and has the appearance of a nutty ice cream topping.
2. Transfer the mixture to a clean bowl using a spatula or spoon, making sure to scrape the food processor to get every last bit.
3. Place the fruit and nut mixture on a clean, dry counter top or cutting board. Flatten the mixture with a rolling pin to a 1.5-inch thickness. Put the flattened mixture in the refrigerator for about one hour to harden.
4. Cut out rectangle shapes with a rectangular cookie cutter or use a knife. You should get about five to six homemade Larabars.
5. Serve or cover your homemade Lara bars with plastic wrap or foil and store in the refrigerator.
