After deciding that buying bars like 'Eat Natural' bars or 9 Bars regularly was going to get reasonably expensive I decided to make my own. Here's my recipe for those of you that like this kind of thing - a great pre/post workout snack or treat.
Makes a baking tray full once spread out (approx. 30cm x 20cm)
In a mixing bowl combine:
8 tbsps rice crispies
5 tbsps unsalted peanuts
5 tbsps hazelnuts (crushed with a rolling pin)
5 tbsps almonds (crushed with a rolling pin)
3 tbsps sunflower seeds
4 tbsps raisins or sultanas
3 tbsps dried cranberries
3 tablespoons honey
2 or 3 tablespoons maple syrup
(If you're not keen on one of the types of nut, try another for example walnuts).
Once it's all combined spread out in a baking tray and press down as firmly as you can. This helps it to stick together as a bar. Put in the fridge over night to set. I find that it is more likely to stay stuck together 24 hours later once it's had a good amount of time in the fridge. I store it in the fridge to help it stay that way!
(Even though this recipe includes more naturally occurring sugars, it's still sugar, so try not to overdose on them - theyre pretty good!)
