Homemade Keylime "Larabars"
My hubs was eating Larabars like crazy last year! At least one a day, which gets pretty pricey.
I’m always trying to find ways to make meals from scratch so I took on the Larabar.
While these aren’t EXACTLY like Larabars, my husband said he actually liked these more. I’ll chalk that up as a win!
INGREDIENTS
NOTE: I choose all organic ingredients for this recipe to avoid pesticides , heavy metals, and other chemicals.
1 cup almonds
1 cup cashews
1 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
12 medjool dates (pitted)
juice of 1-2 key limes (depending on how much lime flavor you want)
INSTRUCTIONS
Put the the cashews, coconut and almonds in a food processor until they are ground to a powder
Add the dates and lime juice to the mixture until a dough forms.
NOTE: If the dough seems to dry you can add a little waterLine a glass dish with parchment paper, or lightly grease using coconut oil
Spread dough into the the dish using a spatula
Once the dough is even in the pan, add a light dusting of coconut flakes, then press dough down with your hands (use parchment paper on top to avoid hands sticking)
Place in the fridge for a few hours to set. Then cut into rectangular pieces and wrap with parchment paper to avoid sticking.
**I store these in the fridge and it works really well*
