To make Larabar bars at home you need basically dates and nuts. The dates amount is half that of nuts, if you add other ingredients like fruits or coconut, dates may account for 1/3 the whole ingredients, and all depends on your preferences as long as you keep the amount of dates that glues the recipe. 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.
