Raw granola bars

<l

I found a really yummy sounding recipe for baked granola bars but for convenience and nutritional sake I decided to adapt the recipe to a raw version. They turned out amazing and we have been happily snacking on them all week!

Recipe:

Dry ingredients:

1 cup ground flax seeds
1 cup almonds
1/2 cup cashews
1 cup walnuts
1/8 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup dried banana
1/4 cup oats

Wet ingredients:

1 1/2 cup dates
1/2 cup dried apricots
4 TBS coconut oil
2-5 TBS honey (depending on how sweet you want it)
1/2 TBS vanilla

Pulse all the nuts in a food processor so thy are lightly chopped up. (You can sub for any other nuts or whatever so long as the wet/dry ratio is still close to the same) place all dry ingredients in a big bowl.

Blend the dates and apricots into a chunky paste and add to the dry ingredients along with the other wet ingredients. Mix until well combined and then take out about 1 1/2 cups and place in the blender. Blend this until a sticky ‘dough’ forms (this will hold the bars together). Place back in the bowl, combine and press into a lined shallow pan. Keep in the fridge and enjoy!
