Do you want an energy bar that\u2019s nutritious, delicious, and looks great? Good news, you can make it at home yourself if you follow the recipe in this article. There\u2019s no need to buy energy bars that contain chemicals you can\u2019t even pronounce. If you\u2019re willing to spend 15 minutes in the kitchen, you can make something that will be just as energy-packed but much healthier.<\/strong>
\n<\/p>\n

Save money with homemade energy bars<\/strong><\/h2>\n

To be fair, store-bought energy bars have several advantages. They come in a light easy-to-open packaging, you don\u2019t need to spend time making them, and someone qualified made sure they taste great. But all of this comes at a price. Nutrition aside, a big issue is that they can be expensive. Considering that high-quality bars cost up to 3 euros or dollars, long intense rides won\u2019t be cheap. You should consider making your portable fuel at home especially if you\u2019re training several times a week and you want both quality and a reasonable price.<\/p>\n

You can buy nuts, seeds, dried fruits, and chocolate in bulk to get the best possible price. They have a very long shelf life, and you can make endless variations of nutritious, tasty, and cheap energy bars with them whenever you need to.<\/p>\n

Recipe: Sticky Apple Bars<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The beauty of making your own energy bars is that you can choose your favourite ingredients. If you like apples, you\u2019ll love this one. It\u2019s just as refreshing as fruit but much richer and energy-dense; an ideal snack for a long ride. This recipe only takes 15 minutes of prep time, no excuses, try it out!<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For the crust<\/em><\/p>\n

12 dates, pits removed
\n1 cup almond butter
\n\u00bc cup honey
\n\u00bc cup shredded coconut
\n\u00bd cup coconut butter
\n1 teaspoon cinnamon
\npinch of salt<\/p>\n

For the toppings<\/em><\/p>\n

3 apples, cored and thinly sliced
\n3 tablespoons coconut oil
\n\u00bd cup walnuts, roughly chopped
\n\u00bc cup honey
\n2 tablespoons coconut butter
\npinch of cinnamon and salt<\/p>\n

Directions<\/strong><\/h3>\n

1. Add all ingredients for the crust to a food processor. Heat up coconut butter so that it\u2019s easy to mix in with the rest.
\n2. Put crust ingredients in a glass baking dish, press down until evenly distributed.
\n3. Now heat up a large skillet under medium heat. Add your coconut oil, then your sliced apples.
\n4. Once apples begin to become soft, add your walnuts. Be sure to continuously stir so the apples and walnuts do not burn.
\n5. Once apples are wilted, add honey and coconut butter along with cinnamon and salt.
\n6. When all ingredients are incorporated, pour mixture on top of crust and press flat. Put in the fridge to harden for 30-45 minutes.
\n7. Cut into squares, and you\u2019re done!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
