Here is a recipe for a super healthy energy bar that will keep your spirits up for much longer and keep those hunger pains away! Since I made up the recipe, feel free to add as much or as little of the ingredients as you would like! Make this bar your own by using different ingredients, too!
INGREDIENTS:
4 Cups Old fashioned oats
1 Cup Unsalted dry roasted peanuts
3/4 Cup Unsalted Sunflower seeds
1/4 Cup Whole flax seeds (you could also use ground flax seeds)
1/2 Cup Dried blueberries
1/2 Cup Dried cranrasins
1/4 Cup Dried apples (cut into tiny pieces)
3/4 Cup Organic Brown rice syrup
1/2 Cup Adams Natural Smooth Peanutbutter
Add all of your dry ingredients to a large bowl. Mix up well with your hands or a spoon.
Next, add your peanut butter and brown rice syrup. Stir together with a non-stick spatula until everything is coated with just enough "stick". If you need to add more syrup...feel free to! You want the consistancy to be really stiff so it binds together really well. If you added too much and your mixture is runny...add more oats.
Pre-heat oven to 350ยบ F.
Grease a 13x9 baking dish and press the mixture into the bottom until it is a uniform thickness.
Bake for 15 minutes. Let cool before cutting.
Cut into whatever shape is desired...I cut mine into squares.
Store in an airtight bag and enjoy for a snack!
OTHER ADD-INS:
Rice crispies
Honey
Organic chocolate chips
Kashi cereals
Cocoa powder (to make a chocolate version)
Any dried fruit
Walnuts
M&Ms...not that healthy, but kids love them!
Feel free to tweak the amounts to you desired taste!
