Homemade "LARA BARS"

Homemade "LARA BAR"


What is a LARABAR anyway? Basically it is a granola bar minus the granola. It is just fruits, nuts,  spices and some even have chocolate. 


This allows them to be gluten-free and grain free for that matter. They are good for everything from a snack on-the-go to a guilt-free dessert. 


You can buy them in bulk at Costco, but the most cost efficient is to make them yourself. Dekalb Farmers Market has the best selection of dried fruits at the best price - yes, it is worth the drive.


Here is our favorite "LARA BAR" recipe:


our favorite ingredients
1 cup of pecans
1 cup of dates
1/2 cup tart cherries
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
1 tablespoon almond butter


1. process pecans only for 30 seconds
2. add in the rest of ingredients 
3. process until everything comes together




Don't feel like you have to stick to any recipe, make them your own way. Try adding blueberries or apples, almonds or walnuts. Create a yummy treat today & ENJOY!
