These are my new favorite homemade Larabars:
Only, they’re not really Larabars at all.
I stumbled upon the recipe while making Hot Fudge Brownie Larabars.
The hot-fudge Larabars used to be my favorite. But their place has now been usurped… by a non-chocolate bar?! Yes, these oatmeal cookie bars are so good I like them better than the chocolate flavors! I’m a disgrace to my chocolate-covered blog.
Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Larabars
Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Larabars
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup raisins (80g)
- 6 tbsp quick oats (30g)
- 1/2 cup raw walnuts (40g)
- 1/8 tsp plus 1/16 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Pulverize the oats in a food processor, then add all other ingredients and blend very well. Form into balls or bars. (If you want, you can portion the dough into plastic bags before smushing the bars, so your hands don’t get sticky.) This recipe makes a little over three Larabar-sized (45g) bars. I like to double the recipe—the bars last at least two weeks in the fridge. They can also be frozen. **My recipe always turns out sticky, but a few commenters said theirs turned out dry, which makes me suspect they probably just need to process longer. (If for some reason they are still too dry, add just a tiny bit of water and process again.)
Do you have any favorite “non-chocolate” snacks?
If a certain favorite snack of mine doesn’t have chocolate, it’ll probably either have peanut butter or coconut. But really, most of my favorite snacks have chocolate!
Here’s a list of all the Homemade Larabars Flavors.
PEANUT BUTTER!!! yep, thats about it. But unsweetened chocolate is my favorite snack of all time (just like KatieDid above)
And that treat looks so chewy! I really want to sink my teeth in!
YUM! Oatmeal raisin is one of my fave cookies, and I LOVE Larabars, so I will definitely be making this soon! 😀
Nut butter is probably my other favourite non-chocolate snack…but then again my fave nut butter is Justin’s Chocolate Hazelnut haha!
I’d have to say my fav non-chocolate treat has to be oatmeal raisin cookies. So, it’s a sign- I MUST make these larabars. Like now. 🙂
We love Larabars, but I hate paying for them. Thanks for this recipe!!!
I LOVE the combination of oats, raisins and walnuts! Yum 🙂
My favourite non-chocolate treats are nut butters, dried fruit and yoghurt.
Making these!!! They look fab 😀
I can’t wait to make these, they sound delicious and kind of holiday-ish actually! Nothing beats chocolate for me but I’ve really been into cinnamon lately. and pumpkin pie spice. and anything involving those things 🙂
I am sorry I say this on a chocolate-covered blog but chocolate isn’t always the answer. For me coconut is the magic word. Well, chocolate-covered coconut beats everything 😀
Yum! I used to love oatmeal raisin Clif bars. Favorite non-chocolate snack? Definitely something with nut butter!
Carrots? Not exaggerating at all, I usually make it through 2-3 pounds of them each week.
