- Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
- Yield: 12 bars 1x
- Category: Snack, Dessert
- Method: Food processor
Ingredients
Scale
2 cups unsalted cashews (290g) – raw, roasted, or activated all work
2 cups medjool dates (340g) – about 18-20 medjool dates
1 1/2 Tbsp lemon zest – Zest of 2-3 large lemons
1/4 rounded tsp pink himalayan salt, to taste
Instructions
- Take the pits out of the dates and make sure the dates are fresh.
- Put the cashews into the food processor and process for about 20-30 seconds until they’re crushed well. Don’t overdo it or else it’ll become too oily.
- Add the dates and process for about 15 seconds.
- Add the rest of the ingredients and pulse about 10 times. Be careful not to over-blend because the oils in the cashews will release and make the bars oily (speaking from experience lol!). I also don’t recommend adding any lemon juice because it’ll make the bars more gooey, so only do lemon zest unless you want really gooey bars.
- Line an 8×8 pan with parchment paper.
- Transfer the mixture to the pan and press into an even layer using a silicone spatula.
- Place in the freezer for 60 minutes to harden. Remove the dish from the freezer, then remove the larabar mixture from the dish by picking up the edges of the parchment paper and transferring to a cutting board. Slice into 10-12 bars.
- Place the sliced bars into a parchment lined storage container and put parchment paper between each layer of bars.
- Store in the refrigerator. Eat within 2 weeks.
