No Bake Energy Bars (from
http://blog.adventurecycling.org/201...-food.html?m=1)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup (I use honey instead)
1 cup peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups quick oatmeal
1 1/2 cups rice cereal (I like granola)
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1 tsp sesame seeds
"In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar and syrup. Bring to a boil while stirring. Remove from heat. Stir in peanut butter and vanilla until well blended. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Press into a greased 9x13 inch pan. Cut into bars once cooled.
There are a ton of variations you can do with this, my favorite of which is to add in some fresh coffee grounds for an extra kick. You can also play around with dried fruits and different types of nuts. Just stay away from chocolate chips, as they can get pretty messy on a hot day."
