tom's POWER bars

[tom.moran]

ok so tonight i am making, high energy snack bars.

ingredients are as follows:

mixed nuts and raisins(moderately smashed up with the bottom of a chilli sauce bottle)
roasted salted cashews(chilli bottle smashed)
chocolate chips
glace cherries
crunchy peanut butter
creamed coconut
wholemeal seed and grain flour
oats
butter
honey
maple syrup
demerara sugar
EDIT: and ground ginger

the amounts i used were not recorded i just used the that'll do method. as for getting the mix right i fine tuned it with adding more oats/flour then a touch more syrup as id gone a little too dry

so here is the mix(no earlier pictures as i forgot)


ingredients


and finished bars to come once they have come out of the fridge

please note the ale was not an ingredient, it was purely for chef lubrication

With all the energy of a neutron bomb

Aye, well, you'll no' be hungry, that's for sure healthy and regular too.

All good stuff though

You could maybe half dip them in chocolate....just to hold everything together tidily ?

Kind of put me in the notion for muesli bars. I haven't made them in ages. It's the thought of the chewy oats and honey

[shaggystu]

Good stuff

 

[tom.moran]

yeah thats the plan. the mixture is lush. im hoping that once they have been in the fridge for a few hours they will hold bar shape. if not ill just eat them out the ziplock lol


ive got dehydrated fruit porridge for breakfast, these for lunch(snacks) and dehydrated chilli with cous cous and flat breads for dinner for this weekends camp.(and a litre of rum)

 

[Everything Mac]

[tom.moran]

had a large slice for breakfast today, still got about a third left and still full up, they are lovely only thing ill change is put less ginger in next time as it comes through quite strong

 

[GordonM]

Nice one Tom. Did you get any pictures of the finished bars?

 

[tom.moran]

Nice one Tom. Did you get any pictures of the finished bars?

Not yet. I left them in the fridge overnight and took the test bar to work with me today as i had no idea how fillng they would be. Now i know, i will slice them up when i get home at about 10pm tonight.

photo's of the finished bars, the tray i cut into 14 bars and have/had probably another 6/8 bars worth of mixture left that i made into a 'daddy bar as it wouldn't all fit into my tray

will have to give it a try. I eat breakfast at about 0730 and am hungry by 1100. Then have lunch at 1230ish and hungry by 1630!

I'm in the notion; I'm going to bake some tomorrow
