| I had to try one! :) |
Now that the hubs and I are eating a mostly Paleo diet, I've been looking for quick and easy breakfast and snack ideas. Things that I can prep over the weekend, that we can both just grab on-the-go in the mornings during the week.
Last week, I made these Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Larabars. They were delicious! Since they were such a success, I decided to experiment with swapping ingredients a little.
I wanted to make them without the chocolate and I knew I already had some dried cranberries in my pantry. I think they turned out pretty yummy! :)

Homemade Cranberry Larabars
Loosely adapted from Oh She Glows
Makes 10 bars (12 if you cut them smaller)
Ingredients:
1 cup cashews
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup tightly packed pitted dates
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp sea salt
splash of lemon juice
Directions:
1. If the dates are stiff or dry, soak them in water for 30-60 minutes. Drain well and pat dry.
2. Add all ingredients to food processor and process until it looks crumbly and gooey and well-combined.
3. Line a 8" square pan with parchment paper. Add the mixture to the pan and spread evenly to the corners. Freeze for at least 30 minutes.
5. Slice into 10 evenly-sized bars. Store as you wish; I like to put them in snack-size ziploc bags or wrap them individually in cut-to-size parchment paper.
