Homemade Larabars

ever feel like everything that's healthy is either REALLY gross or SUPER expensive? well, i fell in love with a cookie bar that is soooooo good. larabars. heaven in a bar and i could eat like 12 at a time and not feel even a ounce of guilt. but, they cost over a dollar per. bar, so i made them. i made the cinnamon roll one because, who doesn't like cinnamon rolls. no one. note- all measurements have been changed over time to find perfect recipe. that's why they're so wonky.

original can be bought here 

ingredients

2 1/4 cup dates

1 1/2 cup peanuts

3/8 cup almonds

1 tbsp. cinnamon

1 tbsp. vanilla

3 tbsp. water

put all ingredients in a food processor and mix until it has the desired consistency.

i blended mine until really creamy and added a teensy bit more water than called for.

put it all in a pan. a small pan for thicker bars, bigger pan for thinner bars.

 press evenly into pan and chill in fridge to make it easier to cut. cut into bars and eat. i ate before i could take a picture of them, though.

xoxo,
