Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Larabars

Melissa King 46 Comments

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Larabars.  I had a reader request a recipe the peanut butter chocolate larabar.  Since I love all things larabar, I wanted to make them asap.  They came out great!  I still love the Coconut Cream Larabar the best, but this one is pretty good too.

These healthy bars are no bake and super easy.  They freeze well too, so feel free to double the batch!

I am more of an almond butter girl myself, but my husband LOVES peanut butter so I know that these will be gobbled up fast.  I may try a second batch with almonds.  I love recipes like this because they are just so easy.

Recipe Notes

I store them in the fridge. They should keep at least a week if you can get them to last that long!

Key Lime Larabars (Vegan and Gluten Free)

Melissa King 85 Comments

Key Lime Larabars.  I had a reader request a key lime larabar recipe.  I have got to say that I like these a lot.  I am not really a fan of key lime anything, but these little bars are good!

They reminded me of the Coconut Cream Larabars, which are like crack and also my favorite.  These larabars are so easy to make.  How can you not try them when they take only 5 minutes?

The taste of lime comes out real nice in the finish.  It’s a subtle taste.  I only used the juice of 1 lime, bit you can add more if you like.  Now I have one question.  Is there any flavor I am forgetting about?  I thought maybe the blueberry flavor.

What do you all think?

Copycat Banana Bread Larabar Bites

Copycat Banana Bread Larabar Bites.  I just love making larabars!  So easy and they take minutes to make.

My favorite is still my coconut cream, but I think these banana bread larabar bites are my daughter Meadow’s favorite.  This is also a reader fave!  It’s easy to see why, they are delicious!

I think my husband’s favorite is the Chocolate Brownie.  This banana bread recipe took me two tries to get right.

I wanted to change it up, so this time I rolled them into bite sized balls instead of bars.  I got about 20-25 bites out of this batch.

Homemade Pecan Pie Larabars

Yes!  Homemade Pecan Pie Larabars is what today’s post is about.   I just can’t seem to get enough of them.  The Coconut Cream is still my fave larabar recipe, but these pecan larabars are very tasty as well.

They are also no bake and take a few minutes to throw together.  This is my kind of recipe. Vegan, gluten free and paleo too!

They taste just like pecan pie with none of the guilt!  Feel free to have two, or three.  No added sugars in here.  They get their sweetness from dates.

Nature’s candy.  Yum!  Warning….these are addictive.  These larabars are also gluten free and grain free!  I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

  4. Line an 8X8 pan with parchment ,
  5. leaving enough room for some paper to stick out the sides.
  6. Press the dough evenly into the pan.

  8. Stick in the fridge to firm up. About 2 hours should be good. 
  9. Once it’s chilled, cut into squares with a pizza cutter .

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Larabars

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Larabars.  Okay I am officially addicted to homemade larabars!  My first recipe was the Chocolate Brownie Larabar, then there was the Coconut Cream Larabar and now the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Larabar.

I have to say the coconut cream is still my favorite, but the cookie dough comes in at a close second.  You can roll them into balls as well if you don’t want to do bars.

These are just so easy to make and they contain just a few ingredients.  This was my second attempt for this flavor.  The first one came out good, but I didn’t think it was quite right.

Coconut Cream Larabars

Melissa King 328 Comments

These Coconut Cream Larabars are where it’s at. No matter who you talk to, most everyone seems to love larabar,  My two most viewed posts on the blog are the Peanut Butter Granola Bars and the Homemade Clif Bars.

The first larabar recipe I created was the chocolate brownie.  I think these healthy larabars came out even better!

Coconut Cream Larabars

These literally took about 5 minutes to make.  Can it get any easier?  I love recipes like this.  The store bought Larabars cost $1.50 a piece.  That can get pretty pricey if you are buying a lot of them.  So here is my recipe.  I hope you like it as much as we did.
