To make 5 Larabar bars you need : Ingredients | |
| 50 grams | Dates |
| 100 grams | Nuts, ( roasted, unsalted) |
| Procedure - Chop the nuts by pulsing in a food processor but do not make powder - Pit the dates and microwave them for 15 seconds on high - Mash the dates using the back of a fork ( try a potato masher?) to make a smooth sticky paste (the glue) - Add the nuts successively to the dates and mix using a spoon, a spatula, or your hands until nuts are fully incorporated - Wipe the inside of a small rectangular container with a few drops of water. Cover the inside with a plastic wrap and work out the air bubbles. Put the mixture and spread evenly by pressing into the corners - Place plastic wrap over the top and leave for 2 hours - Turn out onto a cutting board or any even surface . Cut into 5 even bars and wrap each one in a plastic wrap. Keep in the cupboard, or in the fridge for 1 week. The shape, taste, and finish would be improved if you repeat the process.
