3 Ingredient Larabars are a healthy snack for the whole family to enjoy!
If you like having healthy snacks on hand at all times, these are the easiest fruit and nut bars out there! Like I said, you only need 3 ingredients and about 5 mins to prepare these! I made mine in the blender, but a food processor would work great as well. I have always loved Larabars, but I have to be honest when I say that homemade Larabars are even better! Why have I not been making these all along!?

This just made my Larabar craving quadruple in intensity!! They are beautiful. I can’t wait to try it!
Great Jamie! Let us know how they turn out! Can’t beat 3 ingredients!
I recommend adding a little sea salt to these. I swear, it makes them sweeter! I’m hungry now. Thanks 🙂
You are too funny! Great suggestion, and I’m so sorry for the delayed response. This comment was hanging out in my SPAM folder. How dare my blog think you are spammy, Jen!! P.S. I’m hungry now too.
I have dates I have been looking for a recipe for. Gonna make these after naptime!
I’m glad you’re trying them out! It’s great to have some healthy options for the whole family!
Ohhh, I might have to try this – and soooon!!
Thanks for the great idea. Definitely sharing.

How many bars does this make
Also do you know the calories in each bar?
Hi Bre,
This recipe easily makes 12 good sized bars at 193 calories each. Thanks for stopping by our site! Enjoy the bars!
I bought raw cashews on accident….do you think that is going to make a difference?
Raw should work just fine! I would add just a little bit of sea salt but not a must. 🙂
Have you ever made these with raw mixed nuts? I think my jar has cashews, walnuts, pistachios, almonds and hazelnuts.
I haven’t but a lot of larabars are made with different nuts so they might be good. Let me know if they are!
I used almonds and added a little homemade vanilla extract as well. I made mine in to little snack balls and they turned out great. Will be using this recipe a lot. It only took me about 15 minutes start to finish!!! ?
These are amazing! My kids chowed them. Great alternative to processed bars as we head out the door. Had to make another batch 2 days later!
Why do they need to be refrigerated? I’d love to take these backpacking!
I’m sure they would be fine a day or two. I refrigerate them because the package of dates says to refrigerate after opening. I know they last me well over 4 weeks in the fridge but I’m not sure about outside the fridge.
Are these Whole30 compliant? I wonder because of the dates. Also, have you or anyone ever tried adding protein powder to the mix?
Hi Darienne, yes dates are Whole30 compliant. These are a great on the go “snack” for Whole30 but as the book suggests, enjoy these things in moderation. I have made them with protein powder post-Whole30 but I didn’t like the way they turned out. They weren’t as soft and you can really taste the protein flavor. So if you do decide to give it a try, use a protein powder flavor you really like.
Do you have nutrition facts? I see its 193 calories. What about protein?
These are really great! Tastes like I am eating a peanut butter and honey sandwich. I used peanuts instead of cashews. I also added 2 tablespoons of chia seeds and balled them up to make it easier for my young children to grab. My kids love them 2. I’ll have to keep my eye out for my 4 year old–he keeps sneaking into the refrigerator to grab more.
Yummy! What a great idea!
I just made these bars using our vitamix. The dough was nice and warm – really yummy! It was a test of will-power to put them in the refrigerator! I’ll be making these again!
Glad you enjoyed them!
Do you have the nutrition facts for these bars? They look yummy, but am wondering about carb and sugar grams. Thanks!!
Hi Jenn, if you follow the recipe exactly and cut them into 24 squares they have 30 grams of carbs and 24 grams of sugar each.
When you blend them, is it on high or low speed? I tried to make them using a Vitamixer, but the cashews created a paste at the bottom and could never get everything the mix to the right consistency. Any tips or suggestions? Thanks!
Make sure you soak them and use the lowest power you can on your Vitamix.
What do you mean “soak them”? I do not see anything in the instructions about soaking anything. Thanks for your help!
Were you able to find out? i had a very hard time too getting it to blend.
I’m not sure where I wrote something about soaking them? Just blend everything. 🙂
I’m not sure where you see anything about soaking them? You just blend everything is all.
I love this recipe and have made them many times. I always keep a couple of individually wrapped ones in my car. Today I decided to amp it up a bit. I added a big spoonful of Pb2 and some chocolate chips. I also used half almonds and half cashews. Add a little water to get the right consistency. Delish!
Hi Julie! Thanks for sharing your great ideas, those all sound yummy!
Can you share more larabar recipes?!
You can ad anything to this recipe to change them up. Try adding some different nuts, coco powder, chocolate chips, different fruit, etc. Hope this helps! Let us know if you discover any great combinations!
This looks so good! What a great way to enjoy a treat while sticking to the good stuff!
Thanks for sharing! Do they keep long?
