Almond Raspberry Bars

February 18, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 8 Comments

Hi Everyone,

It’s been a good Friday!  Work was great and I got a surprise from my Boss!  We have off on Monday for Presidents Day.  We never get that day off but our building is closed so it means no work.  Woohoo!  Three day weekend and it wasn’t even planned.  I love those type of surprises.

Then I got an e-mail from Daily Buzz and my Chocolate Almond Nut Butter made the top 9 list!  That made me so happy and proud.  If you want to check the recipe out go here.

When I came home from work I wasn’t feeling like doing kickboxing and since it was so nice out I jogged 3 miles.  I know for a lot of you runners it doesn’t sound like much, but for me it’s a big deal.  I did it in 35 minutes.  It felt so nice to just get out there and go.  I have to say I am getting out of shape, my legs are sore.  So it’s a good thing I did it.


For today’s recipe I made Almond Raspberry Bars.  I love-making bar cookies, there so easy and there pretty too.  I made these a few weeks ago, and looking at the picture I wish I had more.  I got this recipe from the Realistic Nutritionist.  I didn’t realize until I pulled my notes out, that these are her recipe.  It seems I have been making a lot of goodies from The Realistic Nutritionist lately, more coming this week.  I’m really trying to be better when it comes to my treats and snacks, but it’s hard.  So check out the Realistic Nutritionist if you want healthy treats and meals!

I changed the recipe up a little to make it even more healthy for me, since I tend to eat more then one bar, I’ll eat like 3 or 4. I’m horrible.  I make these for portion control, but that doesn’t seem to work for me.  This bar is made with fresh raspberries and raspberry preserves.  If you like a sweeter bar, I recommend adding more sugar to the recipe.

Almond raspberry bars – adapted from The Realistic Nutritonist

Ingredients:

1 cups whole wheat pastry flour

1 cup oat flour (process oats in a found processor until ground)

1/3 cup brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (can sub in cinnamon)

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup almond meal (I bought it at Trader Joe’s)

1 large egg

1/4 cup oil (canola or vegetable works)

3/4 cup fresh raspberries

1/2 cup low sugar raspberry preserves

Additional almonds for garnish

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350F.

Grease an 8 x 8 inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside

Whisk flour, ground oats, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, almond meal and salt together.

Add egg and oil and mix well until a wet, moist crumble forms. Save at least 1/2 cup. Press crumble into the bottom of the baking dish until an even layer forms.

Bake for 10 minutes or until crust begins to brown a little.

Meanwhile, mash fresh raspberries and raspberry preserves together. When crust is done baking yet still warm pour fruit over it.

Cover with remaining 1/2 cup of crumble. Garnish with additional almonds and bake for 18 minutes, or until fruit is bubbly.

Serving Size: 16 – 2″ pieces

Calories per bar:  116, Fat:  4.7,  Cholesterol:  0,  Sodium:  83,  Potassium:  36,  Carbs:  17,  Fiber:  2.1,  Sugar: 6.5,  Protein:  2.2

Well my friends, it’s a short post tonight.  I need to head to Trader Joe’s before they close. I am completely out of milk and yogurt and if I don’t have milk in the morning for my coffee, I’ll be one crabby camper.  However I guess I could walk to Starbucks, but nah!  I’ll want coffee as soon as I get up!  🙂

I hope everyone has a great weekend and a wonderful Saturday.  I’m giving you a tip today, get out there and do something for yourself.  Wither it is taking time to read a book, play on the computer or make yourself a special treat, just do it!  Your worth it and you’ll be happy and so will the people around you!  Enjoy!!

      I doubt I’ll be a sprinter, but I’ll try to keep up on it! However sprinting would get me home quicker, then I’ll be done exercising! 🙂 What a horrible way for me to think.

    I wish Starbucks was within walking distance from my house…though it could be seriously dangerous! I’d also love one of these bars to wake up to 🙂 Anything with fruit counts as breakfast, right?

      Yah, Starbucks is less then a 1/2 mile away, it is dangerous, but I’m glad it’s there!! 🙂 I tell myself I have to walk there if I want one, that way I go less. lol

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

Happy Tuesday! Today we have Gale force winds and Happy Tuesday! Today we have Gale force winds and rain. I’m still blown away by this crazy weather. It feels like it’s never going to end. I just hope everyone is safe.
🌿
I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
