⚡ Quick Dried Fruit Bar Recipe
These are simple, no-bake energy bars.
Ingredients
-
2 cups Dried Fruit (Pitted Dates are best for sticking)
-
1 cup Mixed Nuts (Almonds, Walnuts, etc.)
-
Optional: 1/4 cup Seeds (Chia, Flax), Spices (Cinnamon, Vanilla)
3 Essential Steps
| Step | Action | Tip |
| 1. Prep Ingredients | In a food processor, pulse nuts until roughly chopped. Set aside. | Don’t over-process the nuts; keep some texture. |
| 2. Make the Base | Process the dried fruit until it forms a sticky, uniform ball or mass. | The heat from processing makes the fruit sticky enough to bind everything. |
| 3. Combine & Chill | Mix the processed fruit with the chopped nuts and optional ingredients until well combined. Press firmly into a parchment-lined 8×8 pan. | Crucial: Press down very hard to prevent crumbling. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. |
