I’ve gotten a bit out of control when it comes to my version of Larabars (Buddy Bars!). I love that they are all natural, raw, and nothing but fruit and nuts. My latest version is a classic PB&J. Now, who doesn’t love a good PB&J?
My food memory of peanut butter and jelly as a child is grape jelly, but today, I’m jumping in with strawberry. I found some awesome dried strawberries that were still moist and sweet, yet not artificially sweetened. Where did I find these? Ozark Natural Foods. If you live in Northwest Arkansas, and you love to do some adventuresome baking, scour the bulk section of Ozark Natural Foods and you’ll find some true treasures! Plus, you’re supporting the community!
Once again, I used my bullet blender to blend these up, which is oh-so-simple. Use the same technique as the Pistachio version of my Buddy Bars and you’ll get fabulous results! And, if it is important to you, you’ll be happy to know that these are considered raw, vegan, and gluten free!
These sound perfect! 🙂
