Yesterday I made raw/vegan fruit and nut bars! They were so simple and the fact that all the ingredients are in their pure form you know that you still have all the nutrients. I used figs as my main fruit, they are high in fiber and calcium! Walnuts and pecans brought this bar together and cinnamon is infused. I really really hope that you make this recipe for yourself, your family, and your friends. I'm so excited about it and the are so simple! This natural energy bar will keep you going and all of the unsaturated fats will keep you full.
Fruit and Nut Bars
8 oz package of dried figs, chopped
handful of raisins
cinnamon stick
1 t vanilla extract
1 c or so of walnuts
1 c of pecans
1/4 c flax seeds (you can use whole or ground)
1. Place chopped figs, raisins, and cinnamon stick in a medium sized bowl and cover with warm water. Let sit for about an hour.
2. In a food processor (may want to do this is two batches!) combine your fruit, drained and cinnamon stick removed, nuts, vanilla, and flax seeds.
3. Process until smooth, a few chunks is alright! Then press into an 8x8(for thicker bars) or 9x13(for thin, skinny bars) baking dish. Put them into the fridge until set.. about an hour. Then cut into bars!
Hope you dig these! Love lots.. whollygirl:)
