If you've done Whole30, if you're paleo, or if you're just a health nut like myself, you're probably head over heels for Larabars. Why not make them at home for yourself??
I decided to share my recipe for the Apple Pie flavor because:
1. It's one of the easiest to replicate
2. It's one of my favorites
3. I LOVE PIE (but I'm also gluten free)
Time: 50 minutes
Makes: 6 bars
What you'll need:
- 1 cup raw pecans or walnuts
- 1 cup dried apples
- 1 cup warm water
-1/4 soft whole dates (remove pits)
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp fine sea salt
How to make:
1. Combine apples and dates into a small bowl with 1 cup of warm water.
2. After 5-10 minutes, ensure fruit is soft.
3. Drain fruit and pat dry.
4. Chop pecans (or walnuts) into a food processor until fine.
5. Add fruit to food processor and pulse until combined.
6. In a loaf pan (around 9x5), press a piece of plastic wrap.
7. Spread a tiny bit of coconut oil on plastic wrap.
8. Transfer mixed/processed ingredients in pan.
9. Press down on the ingredients with a piece of parchment paper evenly.
10. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
11. Enjoy.
(For those who are meal prep pros, cut into bars, wrap in plastic wrap tightly, and place in freezer for up to 3 months.)
