These three-ingredient energy bars require no cooking or baking, just a food processor. Blend the ingredients until smooth, press the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet with your hands, and let it firm up in the refrigerator overnight. You can also shape the mixture into balls instead of bars and replace the dried cherries with dried cranberries or apricots.

Ingredients

6 servings

Nuts (such as almonds; use any variety you like) 1 cup
Dried fruit (such as cherries; use any variety you like) 1 cup
Pitted dried dates (preferably Medjool dates) 1 cup

1 cup = 250 ml (metric cup)

Tick off what you already have at home. Send the rest as a shopping list.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Place all the ingredients in a food processor and process thoroughly until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a parchment-lined baking sheet, press it evenly to your desired thickness with your hands, and refrigerate overnight.
You can also shape the mixture into balls. Store them in a cool, dark place. Tip: Use dried cranberries, apricots, or similar dried fruit instead of cherries.

Tip: If the dates are hard, soak them in hot water for 10 minutes and dry them well to help the mixture come together more easily. Cut the firm mixture into bars and wrap each one individually in plastic wrap.
