Easy Homemade Larabars (4 Favorite Flavors)
These homemade Larabars taste just like the originals—re-engineered with a food science twist! Choose from 4 flavors: apple pie, cherry pie, cookie dough, or carrot cake
Servings: 6 bars per flavor
Ingredients
Apple Pie
- ½ cup dates about 5
- ¼ cup raisins 35 g
- 1 cup dried apples 115 g
- ¼ cup almonds 35 g
- ¼ cup walnuts 35 g
- ½ tsp cinnamon
Cherry Pie
- ½ cup dates about 5
- 1 cup dried cherries 140 g
- ½ cup almonds 35 g
Cookie Dough
- ½ cup dates about 5
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup rolled oats 45 g
- ¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 40 g
Carrot Cake
- ½ cup dates about 5
- ¼ cup raisins 35 g
- ¼ cup dried pineapple 35 g
- ¼ cup almonds 35 g
- ¼ cup walnuts 35 g
- ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut 25 g
- ¼ cup shredded carrot 25 g
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp coconut oil 5 mL
Instructions
- Soak: Pick the flavor you're going to make. It's best if you soak the dates (and if your recipe has them, the raisins) in hot water for 30 minutes before using.
- Blitz: Add all the ingredients to a food processor (if making Cookie Dough bars, stir in chocolate chips after blending). Blitz until the ingredients are finely broken down and evenly combined.
- Shape: Shape dough into a rectangle. It should be about ½ inch (1½ cm) thick. For best cutting results, transfer to a plate or cutting board and chill or freeze for 30 minutes.
- Cut: Cut rectangle into bars. Wrap each bar in parchment or wax paper. Store in the fridge until ready to eat.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 to 3 weeks (the carrot cake Larabars have a shorter shelf life and should be enjoyed within 1 week.)
