RAW GRANOLA BAR Recipe- day 3


I use to make homemade granola bars all the time, but i used rolled oats and had to bake them.  I was in the mood for something sweet and my cabinet was looking a little bar. I did however have dried fruit and nuts, so i thought i would try and make a raw version granola bar.   I knew they would be a little sticky, so i thought i would roll them in shredded coconut.  Feel free to use whatever fruit and nuts you like and add in things like mulberrys, goji berries, raw coaca nibs, etc if you want.  These bars came out sooooo good and are perfect for  packed lunches and snacks on the go. I ate mine as dessert. Make sure to double the recipe so you can put some in the freezer for later. Enjoy!!

Granola Bars Y= 5 bars

1c Nuts, any kind (i used a mixture of almonds and walnuts)
1c Dried Fruit, any kind (i used a mixture of figs and raisens)
2T Coconut Nectar or sweetner of choice
1/2 unsweetned coconut, grated

step 1- put dried fruit and sweetner in food processor and blend until it becomes a paste
