Larabars are awesome but kinda expensive, don’t you think? I tinkered in the kitchen tonight and came up with these “larabar-esque” creations. I can’t wait to try some more new flavors!
Almond Cookie
Makes 2-3 bars
- 1/4 cup dates
- 1/2 cup almonds
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
- plastic wrap
Lay out three pieces of plastic wrap, each about the size of a half sheet of paper.
Combine all ingredients in food process and process for about 2 1/2 minutes.
Form the dough into bars and wrap each in a piece of plastic wrap. Store in the fridge – if they last that long
Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookie
Makes 2-3 bars
- 1/2 cup dates
- 1/4 cup cashews
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- plastic wrap
Lay out three pieces of plastic wrap, each about the size of a half sheet of paper.
Combine all ingredients except the oats in the food processor. Process about 2 1/2 minutes.
Add in the oats and pulse 4-5 times.
Form the dough into bars and wrap each bar in a piece of plastic wrap. Store in the fridge.
Chocolate Coconut Pie
Makes 2 bars
- 1/4 cup cashews
- 1/4 cup dates
- 12 oz dark chocolate (I used Green and Black’s 85%)
- 4 tablespoons coconut
- 1/8 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- plastic wrap
Lay out three pieces of plastic wrap, each about the size of a half sheet of paper.
Combine all ingredients in the food processor. Process about 2 1/2 minutes.
Form the dough into bars and wrap each bar in a piece of plastic wrap. Store in the fridge.

yep – you don’t need to cook the oats
These are great! I made the Chocolate Coconut Pie ones but drastically reduced the chocolate. Are you sure it’s 12oz of chocolate? I used about 1oz and that was plenty!
Thanks for the recipes!
