I suck. I can't find them. I used to be into that stuff about 8-10 years ago. Found a thread with a few recipes. Shamelessly ripped and posted here, just so I can deliver something. Geez....
What's good about making your own, is you can add like more dried fruit (especially apricots) if you want, maybe more protein, maybe chocolate chips if you want it sweeter. Oats are really good slow burning carbs, as is dried soft fruit. Remember, it's really quite easy to mix and match. You can pick what you want from one recipe and kind of interchange for personal preference in another - it if it is a similar ingredient. The first two recipes are like clif bars, the last is kind of closer to power bar. Last word of advice is to buy straight up Old Fashioned Oats and toast them for like 20 minutes first (for any recipe you use). Good luck!
1) this one is easy to make, tastes good, provides good energy, and best of all, is vegan!
3 tbsp peanut butter
2 tbsp maple syrup
3 tbsp dark brown sugar
1 tbsp molassas
4 tbsp chopped nuts (i use mixed)
12 tbsp almond or soy milk
1 tbsp cocoa powder
3 tbsp flax seed meal
4 tbsp oatmeal
1/2 teaspoon oatmeal
1 teaspoon vitamin c powder
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
2 heaping tbsp rice protein powder (or soy protein powder)
heat almond milk, peanut butter, maple syrup, brown sugar, and molassas in a small pan on the stovetop. slowly add the remaining ingredients into the pan.
pour the mixture into a shallow 9X6 pan lined with plastic wrap, smooth the mixture evenly by pressing down with another pice of plastic wrap. put in freezer for about 1.5 hours. cut into 5 or 6 bars.
these are fairly guey, but taste like a cliff bar. i usually change the recipe a little each time... to make it more chewy and not so guey, add a little more oats or flax seed meal. you could also add bananas, raisins, apple sauce, or just about anything else you want.
the way the recipe is, you should get about this per bar:
fat: 6.4g
calories: 196
carbs: 23g
protein: 10g
high in fiber, low in cholesterol, saturated fats, sodium.
2) Relatively simple one:
2 cups butter or margarine
2 cups sugar
1/3 cup corn syrup (light Karo)
1/3 cup honey
Cream together the above ingredients.
Gradually add:
9 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 cup sliced almonds
Press into greased cake pan or large sheet pan about 1/2 inch thick. Bake at 350 degrees until golden, or about 18-20 minutes. Do not overcook, as it will get crispy and brittle. As soon as the bread has been taken from the oven, use a spatula to press it down.
This presses the bread together to keep it from crumbling, and it tends to travel better this way (especially when crammed in a Duluth Pack at the bottom of a canoe!). If youwant slightly gooier and chewier bars you can omit this step. Cut it while still warm.
3) Here's an easy one:
.Mix equal parts honey,peanut butter and whey protein powder.Roll into balls and freeze until ready to use.That is the original recipe but I have done this adding in oatmeal so I'm sure you can vary it (and add in other ingredients raisons etc.)to get the ratio of protein/(simple/complex)carb/fat you want
