Ingredients

  • 2 cups raw almonds (I soak and dry my almonds to improve digestibility.*)
  • 2 cups dried fruit (I soak and dry all dried fruit to reduce sugar levels.**) I use figs and/or dates most often. Other options include mulberries, apricots and goji berries.

Instructions

  1. Process dried fruit in food processor until it forms a ball.
  2. Remove.
  3. Process almonds until crumbly.
  4. Add dried fruit in little bits and process with almonds.
  5. The mixture should stick together. (Add a tad of lemon juice, fruit juice or water if needed.)
  6. Remove mixture and press into 8 X 8 glass plate.
  7. Chill for a few minutes to harden.
  8. Cut into bars and enjoy!

*Wondering about soaking and sprouting nuts and seeds? See New to Soaking or Sprouting?

** I submerge any dried fruit in filtered water and leave it overnight. (Adding a bit of whey or water kefir will speed the process along.) Dry the fruit in a dehydrator for 6-12 hours depending on the thickness.

    So do you rehydrate your dried fruits, then re-dehydrate them? Or do you buy them fresh and just soak and dehydrate? Sorry I’m so confused!

      I re-dehydrate. I buy dried fruit and soak it in some whey, strain and then dry. It really does take down the sugar level. Totally optional of course. Thanks for your question. I will try to clarify in the post.
