chocolate chip brownie larabars

by Dani on August 13, 2011

It’s no secret.  I like love would give up my first born for Larabars.  Their simple ingredients, their delicious flavours, their cute packaging.  I love all of it.

That being said, with only a few ingredients listed on the label I knew that I could make Larabar’s Chocolate Chip Brownie bar myself.

And did I ever.

I don’t have many words for this other then amazing.  Really really amazing.

Chocolate Chip Brownie Bar
Inspired by Larabar

Ingredients

1 cup almonds
1/2 cup walnuts
8 large Medjool dates, pitted
2 tbsp raw cacao powder
1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips

Note – Larabar uses salt however I omitted this from my bars, if you choose to add this, use a high quality sea salt

Directions

  1. Combine all ingredients into high-powdered blender or food processor and blend until combined
  2. Shape into bars and refrigerate until ready to consume

Makes 6 bars

Don’t you love it when something you buy is so easy to make?! And when it’s cheaper, and when you can control the ingredients?!

Check out my recent post for banana ice cream @ Veggie V’s Vegan Adventure (www.veggiev.wordpress.com). It would go great with your brownie bar!

Oh…what a treat. I think I could manage the 2 1/2 hour run I have planned if these were waiting at the finish line (a.k.a. my condo).
