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?

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Process the cashews, coconut and almonds until they are a fine powder. 
  2. Then add the dates and lime juice until a dough forms.  If the dough looks a bit dry, you can add a few tablespoons of water to help it come together. 
  3. Line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment leaving enough room for some to come out the sides.
  4. Spread dough into the the dish.  It will be very stick and you may need to wet a spatula to help you. 
  5. Once the dough is evenly spread, press it down with your palms using the parchment paper. 
  6. Place in the fridge for a few hours to set.

Chocolate Mint Cookie Dough Bites

Melissa King 50 Comments

Chocolate Mint Cookie Dough Bites.  With St. Patrick’s day coming up, I am trying to think of some vegan friendly desserts.  This recipe came to me after I made my No Bake Vegan Nutella Bites.  These chocolate mint bites remind me of eating mint chocolate chip ice cream.

They are like Thin Mints without the guilt!  These little balls of goodness are vegan, dairy free, soy free and can easily be made gluten free by using gluten free oats.

The best part?  They can be made in 5 minutes.  Since there is no egg in this cookie dough recipe, it’s safe to eat right out of the food processor.

I had to stop my daughter before she ate most them!  They go really well with homemade almond milk.  Yum!

Healthier Vegan Nutella Bites

Healthier Vegan Nutella Bites.  Omg.  These might be the most delicious little bitesI have ever made.  I know I said this once before after I made the No Bake Cookie Dough Bites, but these even out shine those!

My mom is German, so I grew up eating Nutella.  When I was little, I would grab the jar and run to my room to eat it.  Now I know that it isn’t very good for you.

Being vegan meant giving it up as well.  I missed it terribly so I had to come up with a vegan friendly version.  There are no funky ingredients in these.  They take only minutes to throw together.

That’s right.  You could be only minutes away from popping one of these delicious balls of goodness into your mouth. 🙂  Can it get any better?

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.
