Kid Tested Raw Foods- Snack Bars
Looking for a kid tested, raw food snack?
Here's one easy snack that fits in the gluten free, dairy free category. (Just watch your quality of chocolate!) I promise your kid will like one of these bars-they are gobbled up around our house!
Chocolate Fruit Bar
1 cup unsweetened dates
1/3 cup warm water (use to soak fruit for 5-15 min)
1 cup almonds
2 TBSP cocoa
1/4 cup chocolate chips (dark)
1/4 tsp vanilla
pinch of salt
Instructions:
Soak Fruit in water. Throw almonds in processor and spin until broken down. Add rest of dry ingredients & process. When mixed, add fruit (and water, or drain off the water- it turns out either way). Process for about 60 seconds. Press into a loaf pan-easiest if its lined with wax paper. Chill until hardened then cut into 6 bars or 12 smaller squares.
Oatmeal Raison Bar
1 cup raisons
1/4 cup water
3/4 cup oatmeal (use gluten free if you need or want)
3/4 cup cashews (or almonds/ pecans)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp vanilla
pinch of salt
Instructions:
Just like above-see how easy it is!
Variations...
Swap out your fruit (cherries, pineapple) or the type of nuts in the recipe. Such as cherry almond, pineapple cashew, go crazy!
Try this as a substitute for a sugary cookie or (processed-bad-for-you) treat. Let us know how you love it and if you have more variations!
