dude, i made my own clif bars!!


1/2 cup almond butter
2/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
3/4 cup date paste (blend 1 cup pitted dates with 1/4 cup water)
1/2 cup ground flax seed
2 cups oats
1 cup raisins
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut
splash of vanilla

1/4 cup walnut flour ( put walnuts in blender and blend to flour consistency)
1/4 cup almond four (put almonds in blender and blend to flour consistency)

Mix all ingredients in large mixing bowl.  Shape into balls or squares.  Add more applesauce if to dry or more flour if to wet.  Place into freezer (at least 1/2 hour) to firm up and Enjoy!

Random Notes: 
~You can add more or less of whatever ingredients! 
~Dates are a great sugar substitute and the left over paste can be stored in the fridge for a couple weeks. 
~Yay for making almond flour, after the initial fail :)  I'm pretty pumped about that! 
~You can buy flax seed ground.  I bought some at Fresh in the self serve section and ground my own, the bag was 10 cents! 
~Shape them into whatever size.  Bite size for a quick snack!
