The coating will rinse away with the soaking water. Rip off a large piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap, press it into a 9-byinch loaf pan , and, if using plastic wrap, slick it with a little oil. Combine the cherries, dates, and warm water in a small bowl.
Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes, until the fruit is soft. The exact timing will vary according to the dryness of the fruit. Meanwhile, place the almonds in a food processor and process until finely chopped but not paste-like. Add the drained fruit, cinnamon, and salt if using , to the food processor and pulse until the fruit is finely chopped and the larabar mixture begins to stick together and clump against the sides of the bowl and your processor starts hopping on the counter just a little.
This could take up to 2 minutes. Transfer the larabar mixture to the prepared loaf pan. Alternatively, you can form the mixture into any size or shape you can imagine. Go a little crazy. If you have a second loaf pan, you can nestle it inside the first and press the pan down to evenly flatten the mixture. Leave the paper or wrap in place.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Using the paper or wrap hanging over the edge of the pan, lift the bar mixture from the pan and transfer it to a cutting board. Discard the paper or wrap and cut the rectangle into 6 bars. Tightly wrap each bar in wrap. The bars will keep at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 3 months let the frozen bar thaw for 1 hour before attempting to bite into it.
Originally published October 7, Prepare the bars according to the above recipe, substituting the following ingredients: 1 cup raw or dry roasted almonds, 1 cup dried bananas, and 1 cup Medjool dates.
We absolutely love Larabars at our house, so this recipe was really a dream come true. It only took about 10 minutes to put together. I made the cashew cookie and cappuccino varieties, and they were both outstanding. My husband mentioned he liked them better than the packaged brand. The recipe works exactly as written. I found that the recipe is very forgiving and that the nuts in each recipe are interchangeable. I made the cashew cookie recipe with both almond and cashews in it, while I accidentally used only cashews in the cappuccino mixture.
What a fantastic, healthy, no-cook nut-and-fruit bar recipe! These two substances are preservatives, and the complaint claims they should be listed on the ingredient panel. The products claim to contain the equivalent of a half of a cup of fruit. But the complaint says this is not likely to be true. Also, the complaint figures that, to contain a half cup of fruit, the bar would have to contain a quarter of a cup of dried fruit.
My 8 year old son practically made them by himself. And just like with chocolate, how can anyone not like dates?! We love love love dates! Kid approved here and definitely a keeper recipe.
