I found this recipe in a magazine and renamed it to The Nuke bar.
Makes 25 x 50g bars
Preparation time 10 mins
Cooking time 25 mins
Equipment Needed: a saucepan; mixing bowl; baking sheet; baking parchment or greaseproof paper.
Ingredients 150g dried cherries 75g whole almonds, husk on 75g brazil nuts 75g walnuts 75g pumpkin seeds 250g large rolled oats 200g butter 170g clear honey 225g brown sugar Instructions
- Preheat your oven tp 200C / gas mark 6-7. Cut baking parchment to fit your baking sheet. Chop all the nuts into small pieces (you can use a food processor, but take care not to turn them to dust). Chop the cherries, and then mix them with the oats and nuts in a large bowl.
- Put the sugar, honey and butter into a saucepan. Slowly bring everything to the boil and cook for 5-8mins, until the movement of bubbles and slows the mix has turned light brown. Take care not to let it burn.
- Combine the hot sugar, honey and butter mix with the oats, cherries and nuts. Stir well, and spoon Onto your baking sheet while the mixture is quiet warm. Pack it down using a spatula or the back of a spoon. If you do not do this, the bars will not hold Their shape When cooked.
- Bake on the middle shelf of your preheated oven for 12-15mins, until the surface of the mix is golden brown. Cool on a wire rack, then cut into bars or squares, ready for your next training session.
This Energy Bar is cheap and easy to make. Tastes great and supplies you with a lot of energy. I use them as a quick fix between clients or just before a training session, as They are quite easy to digest.
ENJOY
