I lost my favorite energy bar recipe, does anyone have a similar one?

My favorite energy bar recipe had in it, among other things: Mixed nuts (crushed), sessame,flax and millet seeds, rice syrup, agave, evaporated cane juice, (It may have had some sugar, but I forget), coco powder, cinnamon, salt . It was just mixed up and patted between two sheets of waxed paper, not baked or anything. It had no dried fruit that I can remember. The ingredients were all Organic/Whole/Natural, as I remember them. It may have had in it a protine powder or other spices or flavorings, but it's been two years since I saw it, and I just can't remember. Anyone? Thank you.

these have been in my recipe box for a while and are close to what you are looking for, but not exact... I always tell myself that I am going to make homemade bars before i go hiking or biking...alas i always forget and have to stop at whole foods the night before...


you should be able to get all the ingredients at whole foods or trader joes...


good luck:)





* 1 1/2 cups ground almonds


* 1 1/2 cups ground walnuts


* 1/4 cup sesame seeds


* 1/2 cup pine nuts


* 1/2 cup raisins or dried cranberries


* 1 cup dried blueberries


* 3/4 cup agave nectar, maple syrup or molasses


* cinnamon, cardamom or nutmeg (optional)





Preheat oven to 275°F.





Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. The mixture will be somewhat sticky. Using wet fingers press it down into a 7x11-inch baking dish that has been sprayed with canola oil spray. Bake for 30 minutes to one hour depending on how toasty you prefer it. Cool and then cut into 16 pieces. Store in your refrigerator.

Here is something I snarfed off the net years ago. I don't use them in races or training, but they are OK for hiking. Despite the name, I don't think they taste much like powerbars (a plus, in my opinion).





Home-made "powerballs"





Ingredients:





24 dried figs


1/3 cup honey


4 tbsp. orange juice


2 tbsp. lemon juice


1 tsp. lemon juice


2 1/2 cups unbleached flour


1/2 tsp. baking soda


1/2 tsp. baking powder


1 tbsp. canola oil


1/4 cup dark corn syrup


2 egg whites


1 cup oat bran





Directions:





Add figs, honey, orange juice and 2 tbsp. lemon juice to food processor and mix on "chop" setting until figs are finely cut. Set aside. Put remaining ingredients (except oat bran) in mixing bowl. Beat with electric mixer for 3-4 minutes at medium speed. Add fig mixture until everything blends. Roll 20-24 balls and coat with oat bran poured on plate. Place balls on pan and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until warm and a bit puffy. Place in refrigerator to harden.





and here's another I haven't tried:





1-1/2 cup whole wheat flour


3/4 cup all purpose flour


1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed


1/4 cup wheat germ


1 teaspoon baking powder


1 teaspoon cinnamon


1/2 teaspoon salt


2 eggs


1/3 cup corn, safflower, or light olive oil


1/4 cup molasses


1/4 cup RAW sugar (not white refined sugar)


1 tablespoon finely grated orange peel (California orange NOT Florida)


1 teaspoon vanilla


1 cup orange juice (fresh JUICED from those California oranges)


1 cup chopped dried figs


1/2 cup golden raisins


1/2 cup chopped almonds





Combine flours, sugar, wheat, wheat germ, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In smaller bowl, blend eggs, butter, honey, molasses, orange peel, vanilla, and orange juice with wire whip. Add liquid to dry ingredients; whip until smooth. Add figs, raisins, and almonds.





Spread in a greased 9 x 13 inch baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees F oven for 35 minutes, until it tests done.
