More Gluten Free & Paleo Bars
After how successful my first batch of Larabars was, I wanted to try out another flavor. I have had the actual lemon flavored Larabars before and loved the flavor, so when I came across a recipe for them I knew I had to make it! The flavor in these is great, but the dough was super sticky coming right out of the food processor. Stick them in the fridge and they will start to start less after about an hour or so.
Lemon Larabars
Adapted from Spark Recipes
Ingredients (for 3 bars)
1/4 cup raw almonds
2 Tablespoons raw cashews
Juice & Zest from 1/2 lemon
5 dates, pits removed
2 teaspoons water
Directions
1) Add the almonds, lemon juice, lemon zest, and dates to a food processor and process until well combined.
2) Add in the cashews and water and process until mixture sticks together nicely.
3) Remove from the food processor and roll mixture into a ball with your hands.
4) Place the mixture onto a piece of wax paper and flatten into a square or rectangle shape.
5) Cut into 3 bars, or whatever other shape you'd like.
These bars not only taste amazing, but they smell great while they're baking too! The original recipe I looked up did not include honey, but when I tasted the batter before putting it in the oven it definitely needed a little bit of sweetener. You could substitute the honey with agave nectar as well, but about 1 Tablespoon of the honey (or a little less) finished these bars off perfectly.
