I posted a recipe a while ago; http://trifuel.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2762&highlight=thehitman%27s+energy
thehitman's High Energy Carbo Bars:
1/3 Cup Butter or margarine (5 TBP)(soften first, then mix in sugar)
1 Cup - Brown Sugar and/or honey
1/2 Cup Molasses (optional)
2 Cups Flour (combo of whole-wheat, oat, flaxseed, bran, wheatgerm, white?, whatever's in stock)
2+ Cups Oats (adjust for consistency)
3/4+ Cup Milk (juices can be substituted --- my fav is carrot, apple, ginger, from juicer - ADD PULP)
2 - 3 Mashed bananas (stick in juicer, above, if available)
1 egg
1+ Cup Dried Fruit - whatever's in stock - Raisins, diced pineapple, apricot, cranberries, etc.
1 Cup Chopped Nuts
1/2 Cup Sunflower Kernels
1/2 Cup Shredded Coconut
1 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Ground Ginger and/or cinnamon
Bake app. 30 minutes @ 350 Degrees in a Greased or stickfree Pan; cool & cut
Fresh and/or frozen fruit can be diced or juiced.
Adjust consistency of mix by adding more milk or juice (dry mix) or more oats or flour (wet mix).
More baking powder can be added if additional rising is desired.
I cook without salt --- add salt, if desired (standard baking powder is a sodium product, though)
Bon Appetite!
I made some great Banana Bread a couple of weeks ago, and used so many bananas, it turned out that I probably really didn't need any butter/margarine/oil, or any liquids. I'll be making a batch of carbo bars this weekend with that in mind --- maybe a half dozen well-ripened juiced bananas (using both pulp and liquid); and eliminating all the butter and most or all of the liquids.

I used to make my own granola and granola bars, but I'm one of those people who cooks by throwing random stuff in a pot rather than following a recipe. I'd just mix a couple cups of chopped almonds, a cup or so of oatmeal, maybe half a cup of wheat germ, and a bit of brown sugar. Add some vanilla, a couple teaspoons of vegetable oil, enough honey or maple syrup to make everything stick together, and then bake till golden.

hey all, i just made a batch of the hitman's bars, and...
excellent! thanks for sharing the recipe!
Great thread on the smoothies. I remember there being a discussion about this at some point but my search brought up a bunch of posts, and I'm too lazy to sift through them all.
I want to attempt my own energy bars. I enjoy many of the packaged varieties (Odwalla Chocolate Chip Peanut bars are delicious!).
But they are so expensive and I eat them pretty regularly before and after workouts.
Do any of you make your own bars? If so, care to share your recipe?
Thanks!
