Paleo Granola Bars with Dates and Berries Recipe
Recipe Description:
Sometimes I feel guilty about posting recipes like this. It's so customizable that sometimes I wonder if it's even worth calling a recipe. It's more like a suggestion of how to start, and then you can pretty much add whatever you want. Allergic to almonds? Substitute with cashews. Don't like coconut? Leave it out. Have dried cherries on hand instead of mixed berries? Perfectly fine. Amounts, too - only have a cup of nuts on hand? Do it.
Recipe
Instructions:
Pulse the nuts in the food processor until they are smaller than whole pieces. Basically whatever size sounds good to you.
Add the remaining ingredients (except the chocolate chips) and process in food processor until well combined. Remove from food processor and work in chocolate chips.
Put a sheet of wax paper on a cookie sheet. Dump the "granola" mixture on the wax paper and flatten.
Clean method: put a second piece of wax paper on top of the mixture and roll out with a rolling pin.
Hands-on method: wash your hands, then work the mixture flat with your hands. Spread out until 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Or maybe you want them a bit thicker. It's really a matter of taste.
Keeps bars refrigerated.
