I have made these several times and will continue to make these. I love them because they are so easy to make and taste so good! Kaleb calls them Granola Bars and I don't tell him any different-they are pretty much the same thing, right? I, personally love blueberries, so I throw in dried blueberries instead of raisins, and have done a number of substitutions and it always turns out great.
Homemade Energy Bars
1 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup raw sun flour seeds
1/2 cup raw almonds
1/2 cup dried apricots
1/2 cup dried dates
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup nonfat powdered milk (optional, for added protein)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Whir all ingredients to Food Processor. Process till everything is processed really small. Then...
Add:
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
2 eggs
Process till well combined.
Press onto cookie sheet(Be patient, it's sticky, but you can do it)
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
Cool and cut into bars, wrap individually if you want and store in an airtight container in the fridge. They will last about a week in the fridge, if you're not in my family where they can't last that long anyway. These freeze well too.
These are really yummy. Hopefully we can get a new food prossesor, I love those energy bars!
ReplyDeleteThose sound really awesome! I think I'll try to make some for Nate and Oliver (if I ever find a spare moment) :)
ReplyDeleteI will make some for Jerry, I bet they are much better than the ones we get at Costco, and much cheaper!
