Good idea, thanks. My recipe, have used these for decades, mostly for hiking, some for biking. I put into individual sandwich bags, keep them in the freezer, take out the night before or morning of.
David Bars:

½ c. powdered milk
½ c. wheat germ
2 c. fine whole wheat flour
1 c. raisins and/or chopped dates

Preheat oven to 350°. Beat eggs until thick and lemony. Beat in the sugar until the mixture is thick. Beat in the honey, salt, and whey protein. Dissolve the cocoa in the oil and stir into the egg mixture. Mix the powdered milk, wheat germ, and flour together and stir into the egg mixture. Stir in raisins and nuts. Mixture will be very thick.
