    Apricot Date Walnut Almond Snack Bars

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    These Apricot Date Walnut Almond Snack Bars are so easy to make and keep me fueled many days of the week. Sometimes you’re just on the run and don’t have time for breakfast or lunch. While I have no problem stopping at a convenience store or a drive-through in a pinch, often that takes longer than just having something in your bag you can grab. 

    Apricot Date Walnut Almond Snack Bars

    I make a batch every couple of weeks and stick them in the refrigerator. I grab a bar in the morning so if the day gets away from me or I am just looking for a healthy snack I have something easy at my fingertips.

    While I am using apricots and almonds in this recipe you really could do this with any variety of dried fruit and nuts. 

    What to you need to make Apricot Date Walnut Almond Snack Bars:

    Equipment:
    • a food processor
    • 9×9 inch baking pan
    • parchment paper
    Pantry:
    • 1 cup almonds
    • 1 cup walnuts
    • 1 cup dried dates
    • 1 cup dried apricots
    • 2 teaspoon chia seeds 
    • ¼ cup cardamom 
    • ¼ cup cinnamon

    Once you’ve measured out all your ingredients, throw them in the food processor and let it do its thing.

    You will have to stop and scrape down the contents once in a while to make sure they get fully mixed up with each other.

    While the food processor is combining the ingredients, take a piece of parchment paper and line the bottom of a 9x9 pan. Once the apricots nuts and chia seeds are well incorporated with each other, scoop out the mixture and place on the parchment paper as evenly as you can.

    Then, place another piece of parchment paper over the mixture. Now, using your fist, jar or the back of a spoon, press down the mixture to form an even layer.  At this point, you’re going to want to stick the mixture into the refrigerator to stiffen up. 

    After an hour, or whenever you get around to it, take the bars out and cut them into whatever portion size suits you. I leave the parchment paper on both sides while I cut through and until I’m ready to eat the bars. You can place them into a tupperware or plastic bag in the refrigerator until you’re ready to take them on the go.
