Raw Fruit and Nut Energy Bars
Ingredients:
75g almonds
40g dried apricots
5 medjool dates (stones removed)
1/2 tsp ground ginger
A pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg
20g dried cranberries
20g seedless raisins
Sprinkle of sunflower seeds
Method:
1. In a food processor blitz the almonds until a fine, bread crumb consistency.
2. Remove the almonds to a separate bowl and then again, in the food processor blitz your dried fruit, seeds and medjool dates until broken up in the small chunks.
3. Then add the previously ground almonds and the ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg to mix in the food processor and blitz until fully combined.
4. Transfer the mixture to either a flat glass dish or a plastic container. Press down firmly, I usually make mine about 1.5 -2 cm thick.
5. Store in the fridge for a few hours before consumption to allow the mixture to firm in to a bar. (I usually leave mine for half a day/ a day, depending on when the snack monster awakens.. ;)).
6. Once firm, cut in too 4-5 bars and snack away, guilt free knowing it's 100% healthy and happy.
(You could store these bars in the fridge in a air tight container or wrap in cling film. These bars are great for packed lunches or an on the go tasty energy boost.)
