Cherry Pie Larabars
Cherry Pie Larabars blend dried unsweetened cherries, pitted Medjool dates, and raw almonds into a sticky, pliable dough shaped into bars or balls. The resulting no-bake snack bars have a chewy texture with natural sweetness and nutty undertone, ideal for portable snacking with minimal ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cherries dried unsweetened
- 1/2 cup Medjool dates , pitted
- 1 cup almond raw
Instructions
- In a food processor fitted with an "S" blade, combine the dried cherries and dates and process until a sticky dough is formed. (Be patient-- this takes a minute or so!) Add in the raw almonds, then process again until the almonds are broken down and the batter looks uniform.
- mixThe resulting mixture may appear to be a bit crumbly, but it should stick together easily when you pinch the mixture with your fingers.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and transfer the batter to the flat surface. Press the dough into a flat, rectangle shape. (You could use a rolling pin for this, but I just used my hands.) Once the dough is evenly thick, you can slice it into 8 bars.
- Separate the bars and store them in a sealed container in the fridge for best shelf life. When you need to keep a snack in your purse or bag, simply wrap one of these bars tightly in plastic wrap or parchment paper, and it should last an entire day or two at room temperature.
Notes
- Roll the mixture into balls instead of bars for easy snack bites.
