Homdemade LaraBars Recipe "Almond Butter Brownie"

Last night I made the most yummy LaraBars, since they were such a great hit and I'll be making them again I have decided to name them. So hence forth they shall be called KoHo Bars.

When I was looking at making my KoHo Bars I was amazed at how easy and healthy they are. Even the real deal, LaraBars, only have a handful of ingredients at most. So when making my KoHo Bars I wanted to keep it simple as well.

I headed out to the local bulk health food store and picked up the simple ingredients that I would need to make my Almond Butter Brownie KoHo Bar.

Ingredients:
1 tbs Almond Butter
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1 cup Walnuts
1 1/3 cups Dates
1 tbs Ground flax seed
A handful of chocolate chips

So you take all of the ingredients and toss them into your food processor and let that blend for a couple minutes or until everything is nicely chopped and turned into a dough. 'Once it's all mixed up take a handful of dough and form it into bars. You then can wrap them up and place them in the fridge to harden or eat the Yummy Almond Butter Brownie now ;)

 

Homemade LaraBars

I'm sure you have all heard of LaraBars.

LaraBars were created by Lara Merriken who wanted something healthy that she could eat instead of what was on the store shelves, so she created LaraBars. They are now sold by General Mills.

I was checking my Twitter feed recently and came across a post by Health Habits who had gathered a ton of homemade recipes for Larabars. Check out all the yummy recipes here at Health Habits site.

So I was going through the list of all the Homemade LaraBars, and I found one I liked. I took a pic of the ingredients and headed out to the local bulk health store and picked up the ingredients.  I tweaked the recipe alittle to make it my own. I think I'm calling them KoHo Bars after my wife and I ;)
