Easy Homemade Larabars (+ Infinite Flavor Variations)

With just a few simple ingredients and 15 minutes, you can create your own homemade Larabars. This guide walks you through everything you need to know to make infinite flavor variations, use the best ingredients, and save money too.

Ingredients

  • 3 c pitted dates (or other dried fruit; see options in the post)
  • 1.5 c nuts of choice (see options in the post)
  • 1-2 tbsp other flavorings (see options in the post)

Instructions

  1. If using chocolate, set it aside so that it won't melt. Otherwise, add all of the ingredients to a food processor.
  2. Process until the mixture just barely starts to clump into a sticky ball. If using chocolate, add it at the end and pulse the food processor several times to break it up.
  3. Line a bread pan (or an 8x8 pan) with wax paper, leaving enough paper on the sides to pull the bars out after they set.
  4. Transfer the Larabar mixture to the prepared pan and press it firmly into an even layer.
  5. Chill the mixture for at least several hours or overnight, then remove the bars from the pan by pulling the wax paper upward.
  6. Cut into long thin bars (if using a bread pan) or squares (if using an 8x8 pan).
  7. Store the Larabars in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
