Homemade cereal “bars”, in a more robust form factor - as trekking provisions.
Recipe for 20 servings á 400kcal:
- 200g brazil nuts
- 400g oat flakes
- 40g flax seeds
- 150g trail mix
- 200g dried cranberries
- 100g coconut oil
- 100g almond butter
- 100g sunflower seeds
- 100g chocolate chunks
- 300g frozen berries
- 250ml maple syrup
Melt the liquid ingredients, chop the rest and mix everything together. Compress firmly into a tray with a spoon or jar. Bake at 170°C for 60-80 minutes.
For an upcoming 12-day trek in Norway, I made these cereal bars in puck shape for better storage inside my backpack. Regular bars just turn into fine powder by day 2 on the trail.
Additional advantage of the puck shape - efficient and safe storage inside a chopped bottle (last year, thus the chocolate coating):
these look great and I love both the form factor and your storage!!
I just tried to make some 3 ingredient bars but the recipe was not great; 6-7 medium bananas is soo subjective i should have found one with weights.
on my next attempt i’m going to use the muffin tins and do some mixins! thank you for sharing
