Coconut Chocolate Chip Larabars
Coconut Chocolate Chip Larabars mix shredded coconut, almonds, cashew nuts, and Medjool dates for natural sweetness, combined with chocolate chips for added flavor. The no-bake bars are processed to a sticky mixture, chilled to firm, then sliced for convenient, wholesome snacks. Softening dry dates before processing ensures optimal texture.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups Medjool dates pitted*
- 3/4 cup coconut unsweetened, shredded
- 1/2 cup almond raw
- 1/2 cup cashew nuts raw
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips dairy-free if needed
Instructions
- Prep dish: Line a square or rectangle baking dish with parchment paper.
- Process nuts: Place coconut, almonds and cashews into food processor fitted with the S-blade and pulse until everything is chopped into small pieces. Place nut mixture in a bowl and set aside.
- Process dates: Put dates into the food processor and pulse until a paste forms. The dates will probably form into a sticky ball. If they do, break about the ball a bit with your hands.
- Add nuts and coconut back into the processor with the dates and pulse until well combined.
- Add chocolate chips and pulse a few more times, until they’re just incorporated.
- Set and slice: Place in the fridge for 20 minutes to harden up and then slice into bars.
- To store: Store any leftovers in the fridge with parchment paper between them for 1-2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
- If dates are hard or dry, soak them in warm water for 10 to 15 minutes to soften before using; drain well.
