Ingredients

1 cup pitted Medjool dates (packed (about 10-12))
¾ cup raw almonds
¾ cup unsweetened dried apples
½ cup raw walnuts
⅓ cup unsweetened raisins
¾ teaspoon cinnamon

Cuisine

American

Steps

Add the dates to a food processor or high-powered blender (I used my Vitamix) and blend until they’re broken up. Add the dried apples, raisins, almonds, walnuts, and cinnamon.
Pulse until combined - there should be small bits of nuts and raisins remaining, but not too big. Be careful not to over-process so it doesn’t get too sticky or greasy.
Press the dough into a small pan lined with parchment paper, or just place the date dough on the parchment paper and press into a square/rectangular shape, then use a rolling pin or glass bottle to flatten the top. Cut into squares or bars. (I made 6 Larabar-sized bars, but I ended up cutting those in half to eat.)
Store in a sealed bag or small lidded container in the fridge for up to a month, or in the freezer for long-term storage.

Thanks so much for this great recipe. I absolutely love Larabar and was going to figure out the recipe on my own when I decided to look them up first and viola. Have you done the Larabar Protein apple cobbler bar recipe yet? Thanks so much. Stay safe, happy, healthy and kind!

Fabulous recipe! I have made these several times for my grandsons ( who am I kidding! I just made a batch for myself!) I used deglet dates this time instead of medjool because that's all Costco had. They were just as good!
