Thought I'd get the ball rolling... I've been experimenting with making my own energy bars for some upcoming 12/24hr races.
So far my recipe goes like this:
1 cup oats
1 cup of cereal (Be natural: Pink lady, flame raisin & fruit flakes is my choice atm but feel free to experiment)
About half cup maple/golden syrup or similar and big tablespoon peanut butter.
I've also been experimenting with adding chop chips, dried fruit and nuts in varying amounts.
It's quite simple to make, mix oats and cereal in bowl, mix then heat the peanut butter and syrup up in microwave till pours easily, pour over oats/cereal mix and stir it up. Once mixed pack mixture FIRMLY into square/rectangle container/baking tray and slap it in fridge for 15-20mins to set. I like to chop them up into about 3x3 cm squares which from my gestimations gives you around 200 calories of a mixture of high and low GI carbs, a bit of protein with only a small amount of fat.
So far on my training rides they have worked well. Anyone else had a go at anything similar? got any recipes or tips?
