This morning I found a treat waiting for me in the fridge. Gabriel had somehow managed to make me a homemade version of my all-time favorite healthy treat (as in, we buy them in bulk) without me noticing...and they're delicious - no, seriously, they're incredible, better even than the original Lärabar if that's possible...and they're all organic! There's no feeling bad after indulging in these tasteful bars because they're packed full of nutrients and contain no ingredients you can't pronounce. Here's how he did it:
Cashew Crunch
1 & 1/4 cups chopped dates, or 4.5 oz
1 cup chopped raw cashews
Yield: 4–5 bars
Coconut Delight
1 & 1/3 cups chopped dates
2/3 cup chopped raw cashews
2/3 cup chopped raw almonds
1 tablespoon coconut oil, chopped into flakes
Yield: 5–6 bars
Instructions
Pulse dates in food processor until you have a pulpy mass
Set this aside in a bowl
Pulse the nuts in the food processor to your desired chunkiness
(Or: pulse half to near-powder state and pulse the other half to a chunky state)
Knead the nuts (and coconut) into the dates with your hands
Form into bars or your shape of choice and wrap in plastic
Notes
First: these are best eaten cold!
Second: ingredient quantities are approximate and pre-food processor.
