I promised more Larabars, and here’s another copycat that I absolutely love: Blueberry Muffin Larabars! Except this time I did them in ball form. Honestly, either way works great. Just depends on your personal preference. I think that the balls are actually a little easier for on-the-go stuff since you can press them together really well. By the way, wouldn’t you agree that dates have been severely underrated all of these years? Who knew they could be a sweetener and an adhesive? It’s beautiful, really.
Enjoy.
