Ingredients

  • 1 small apple, cored
  • 1 cup dates (if using dried be sure to soak)
  • 1/2 cup soaked or sprouted quinoa
  • 1/4 cup almonds
  • 1/4 cup ground flax seeds
  • 1/4 cup hemp seeds
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • sea salt

Method

  • In a food processor, process all ingredients until desired texture is reached. If you prefer a uniformly smooth bar, process longer. If you would rather a bar with more crunch and texture, blend for less time. Generally, if I'm making them specifically to be eaten during physical activity, such as long training rides, I'll blend the mixture until it is smooth, as this will reduce the amount of chewing required.
  • Remove mixture from processor and put on a clean surface. From there you can roll it into several balls or shape it into a bar.
