Tools for this Recipe

For this recipe you will need:

Pecan Pie Larabar Ingredients

• Seedless/Pitted whole medjool dates (about 7 dates)
• pecans
• vanilla extract

How to Make Pecan Pie Larabars

De-pit your dates.

Take a date and gently tear it apart and pull out the seed.

Add all of the ingredients into the food processor. I added half of the pecans, all of the dates, and the vanilla, process until crumbly, and then add the remaining pecans to get a nice texture.

Take the mixture and mold it into 5 bars. Wrap the bars in saran wrap or parchment paper.

Store in an airtight container in your refrigerator or freezer.

How to store homemade Larabars

Store this recipe wrapped in parchment paper in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to 5 days. 

Can I make homemade Larabars ahead of time?

Yes, you can make this recipe ahead of time. I suggest only making them 5 days ahead.

If you make a huge batch you can store the extra bars in the freezer wrapped in parchment paper and keep them in an airtight container.

To defrost, you can place the homemade Larabar on a plate at room temperature and it should defrost in no time.
