Homemade healthy apricot and almond bars


These are easy to make energy bars and the fun part is that you can make these with a variety of ingredients of your choice.

Today I made these with dried apricots, almonds, dates and walnuts. All you need is a food processor and a baking dish lined with wax paper. The best part is that you don’t have to bake these and cooking time is 10 minutes only. Don’t you want to try these?



Ingredients:

1 cup nuts (I added almonds and walnuts)
1 cup dried fruit (I added apricots)
1 cup medjool dates pitted

You can roast the nuts or use them raw. I used the nuts raw and pulse them in a food processor. Separately pulse the pitted dates and apricots into crumb sized pieces.

Combine them and pulse them together till it all comes together in a ball.


Now, lay a wax paper in a baking dish and spread the dough in it. Now keep this in the freezer for about 15 to 20 minutes.

Take the baking dish out of the freezer and cut the bars in the desired shape and size. Store these bars in the fridge and consume within 15 days.


You can eat these at room temperature.
