*Cover 1 cup of pitted dates with water, set aside for 30 minutes. This allows the dates to soften, which make a smooth date paste.
In a food processor or blender (I use a Ninja BL660 Professional Blender with Single Serve)
Blend the soaked dates and apricots until a paste is made. Add in whole almonds. Blend until you get a granola like constituency, you’ll want it a bit chunky. Add the almond and blend until you get a dough-like ball.
Place your dough on an almond meal floured piece of parchment and roll into a flat log. Cut and wrap the bars. Place in an airtight container. Depending on the size you prefer your bars; this recipe will make approx. 8 bars. I couldn’t tell you how long they last in the pantry, because mine are gone within a week.
