Peanutty Energy Bars
I believe this is from the National Peanut Foundation’s website. I made 2 batches of these babies and they were great. No melting. We went on a 3 day, 57 miles of mountain biking and these along with jerky were our main fuel source on rides. They were great.
· 1/2 cup salted dry roasted peanuts a
· 1/2 cup roasted sunflower nuts (kernels)
· 1/4 cup toasted wheat germ
· 1/2 cup raisins
· 2 cups rolled oats
· 2 cups toasted rice cereal
· 1/2 cup crunchy (or extra crunchy) peanut butter
· 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
· 1/2 cup light corn syrup
· 1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix together the first six ingredients in a BIG bowl. Set aside. Combine peanut butter, brown sugar and corn syrup in a large bowl. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Add vanilla and stir until blended. Add dry ingredients from medium bowl. Stir until coated. Spoon mixture into an 8-inch square pan coated with non-stick spray. Press down firmly (It helps to spray fingers with nonstick spray). Let stand about 1 hour.
Cut into bars. Yield: 16-20 bars
I had to calculate the nutritional info. I think this is how it goes for the each batch:
Total Calories = 3908
Total Fat/Sat. Fat = 164g/26g
Total Sodium = 1914mg
Total Carbs = 522g
Total Fiber = 52g
Total Protien = 117g
**Divide each number by the number of servings you cut.**
So each of my batches made 16 bars. Here's for each bar:
Calories = 244
Fat/Sat. Fat = 10g/1.5g
Sodium = 120mg
Carbs = 32.5g
Fiber = 3+g
Protien = 7+g
This is pretty good nutritional wise, right? I certainly wouldn't sit around and eat them for a snack. They're quite "beefy."
