Copycat Larabar Recipe

I was thumbing through a free grocery store magazine when I came upon some lunchbox ideas. There were a couple of ideas that I liked but neither of them had a recipe with amounts to use so I gave it a go and did a little experimenting. When everything was done I thought I might never buy a Larabar ever again because these were just like them only I made mine with raisins where it seems that the Larabar corp. uses dates for the majority of their bars.

Copycat Larabar recipe

1 1/2 C. Organic Raisins
2 C. Walnut Halves or Almonds
2/3 C. Ground Flax Seed
1/4 C. fine coconut (optional)

I started with the walnuts and ground them in my food processor. Once they were fine I transferred them to a bowl. Next I placed the raisins in the food processor and chopped them up a bit. They are going to get sort of gooey and clumpy but don’t worry. Once the raisins are done add the walnuts and ground flax seed into the food processor so that you have all ingredients except the coconut in the food processor. Grind it all together until the color is even. Shape into balls or whatever other shape you like. Roll in the coconut. Store in an airtight container.

I’ll experiment with some more copycat Larabar recipes but for now this is what I’ve got. I’ll try an Apple Pie one next.
