Apricot, Almond & Flaxseed Homemade Energy Bars

1. 1

   Add raw almonds to the food processor and process until crumbly but not fully pulverized. Add remaining ingredients and process everything together until it forms a ball or sticks to itself and is fully combined. You may need to press it down a few times using a spatula to get everything even incorporated.

2. 2

   To press the mixture into the bars, use a small, shallow baking dish and line it with parchment paper, then place the processed mixture into the baking dish. Using your hands, evenly press into the dish, taking care to keep everything as fully packed and level as possible, since the bars will be cut from this mold. (I use a second sheet of parchment paper to push down the mixture evenly into the dish so it doesn't stick to my hands.)

3. 3

   Place the mold into the fridge for about 20-30 minutes to allow the bars to harden. Once more solidified, lay the mold out on a cutting board and slice once in half lengthwise, and then again to create the individual bars. You should have about 12 to 14 bars.

4. 4

   I keep these stored in the fridge, separated by parchment paper to keep them from sticking. They'll last over a week in an airtight container.
