Being the foodie that I claim to be, I took it upon myself to organize food for our van of 6...and volunteered to create some fun replenishment bars to look forward to between runs. After making batch 1, I quickly discovered that these are going to become one of those things that I make oodles of different ways, never repeating the same method.
Here's batch 1:
1/4c oat flour (you can make your own by taking oats and tossing in food processor for a bit)
1/4c almond meal
3/4c rolled oats
1 scoop protein powder (I use "About Time" because it is the most natural stuff on the market)
3/4c Trader Joe's Omega Trek Mix
1/4 tsp salt
1/4c unsweetened vanilla almond milk
3 Tbsp flaxseed meal (this, combined with the almond milk, ends up creating a pseudo egg for us to bind things)
1 tsp vanilla
4 Tbsp honey
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease an 8x8 baking pan
1. Combine the flaxseed meal with almond milk, vanilla, and honey in small bowl. Set aside so it can thicken as you put together everything else
2. Combine all dry ingredients in large bowl
3. Add wet to dry and mix! Spread evenly in bowl, place in oven for about 15 minutes or until firm. Remove from oven, cool a bit in the pan, remove from pan and allow to cool on rack. Once cooled, cut into squares!
These guys are GOOD! Of course, I ended up taking it to another level in batch 2...using pecans, walnuts, and raisins instead of the omega mix...and then used About Time Cinnamon Roll protein instead of the Chocolate PB that I used in batch 1. YUM! I'm resisting temptation tonight to do a 3rd batch...and waiting until tomorrow :) Batch 3 alterations will include coconut flour, banana chips, a tad bit of carob chips, and maybe banana protein. We'll see ;)
