Homemade Banana Bread Larabars
- Number of Servings: 2
Ingredients
1/4 cup dates, chopped and pitted1/4 cup dried banana (equals one small banana)1/3 cup raw almonds
1) First step is to dry your own banana. This is the longest process, but you can probably do this a day or two beforehand if needed.
Preheat oven to 175F.
Slice 1 small banana and place on a greased (I used cooking spray) baking sheet. Bake for 2-3 hours (I did about 2 hrs 15 mins) until dried out (might still be a bit moist, but very shrunken)
2) Roughly chop dates and place in food processor with dried bananas. Process for 1-2 mins or until chopped and blended. Place in bowl.
3) Put almonds in the food processor and chop for 30 sec- 1 min. until they are completely chopped and ground.
4)Add almond to date and banana mixture and blend well using hands. Keep rolling and squishing in ground almond until it is all mixed in.
5) Divide in half. Place each half in saran wrap and roll with rolling pin into desired shape, and store in saran in the fridge.
Makes 2 bars.
The nutritional values from OhSheGlows says they are about 230 cal, 5 g protein, 2.5 g fibre; the calculator on here says a little different, but close.
