Time 25m

Yield 24 Truffles, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

1 cup dried dates
3 cups nuts (Of Your Choice)
1 lemon (Zest and Juice)
4 tablespoons of organic raw cocoa powder

Steps:

Chop or grind the nuts (I used a mixture of Walnut, Almond, Cashew, Hazelnut, and Pistachio) either by hand, in a food processor, or in a coffee grinder, depending on the coarseness you prefer. The finer you chop the nuts, the firmer the mixture will stay together.
Chop the dates.
Make zests and juice out of the lemon.
Combine the chopped nuts, chopped dates, lemon zest and lemon juice either by hand, or in the food processor.
Scoop the mixture base on the size of truffles you want to make, make them into little balls, and roll them in the raw cocoa power, set aside.
The oil of the nuts will seep through the powder, and if you'd like, you can roll them in the raw cocoa powder again.
Set aside, it is pretty much ready to eat immediately. I prefer to store them in room temperature. It seems to allow the oil of the nuts and the cocoa powder to incorporate better as they sit.
Enjoy!

Tips:

Soaking the nuts and seeds overnight will help them to soften and make them easier to digest. This will also help to reduce the amount of phytic acid in the nuts and seeds, which can interfere with the absorption of nutrients.
Use a high-quality food processor or blender to ensure that the mixture is smooth and well-combined. A food processor will give you a finer texture, while a blender will give you a chunkier texture.
If the mixture is too dry, add a little bit of water or oil until it reaches the desired consistency. You can also add a little bit of honey or maple syrup to sweeten the mixture.
If you want to make a variety of different flavors of Larabars, try adding different dried fruits, nuts, or seeds to the mixture. You can also add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to give the Larabars a unique flavor.
Larabars can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or in the freezer for up to three months.

Conclusion:

Making your own Larabars at home is a great way to enjoy a healthy and delicious snack. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own liking. With a little bit of planning, you can have a batch of Larabars ready to go in no time.
