Request: Homemade Energy Bar Recipes

I was wondering if anyone had any recipes for good energy bars that store for a few days. I've seen a lot out there, but was hoping someone would have some neat ideas here.

Not saying this to be deflective. Just an observation buuuut.....have you tried googling it? There are a TON of recipies It just depends on your diet, allergies? flavor choice.....

There’s a bar recipie I’ve been trying to perfect .
Take peanut butter the honey flavored - any flavor will do I guess but honey roasted is my personal fav... a bit of caro and granola of your choice . I add my fav raisins n Crasins as well as rice crispies ... haven’t fully tried to merge em all due to time and effort and availability but if ya get a log or two going let me know what’s good! Wink!


Edit : I find granola to be a great type of energy with raisins for me. Crasins not so much but granola and raisins is it for me

Thank you Arisaig!

To Trisskar: I wanted to find out what people here have developed or like as well as create another discussion point and reference for those curious

Lol, didn't do anything, but glad people are thankful for me. hehehehe.

At my former house, we were hooked on the no-bake energy balls (quicker to make than energy bars.) Just mix in a single bowl, and roll them up into bitesized balls, and put them in an airtight container (you can do layers in between wax paper if you get a sticky batch). They'll keep in fridge for a week in airtight container (or longer in the freezer). Not that a batch ever lasted that long...

The basic formula is:
1 cup dry oats (old-fashioned, or mix of old fashioned and quick, depending on your preferences)
1/4 - 1/2 cup nut-based butter of your choice (the ratio depends on how much other dry stuff goes in for extras/flavoring. If you're adding more, increase the butter to hold it all together.)
1/4-1/3 cup honey, agave nectar, or sorghum molasses. (Same deal - add syrup-like sweetener according to taste and consistency. I don't usually even measure this stuff anymore, so it's hard to be exact.)

To this base, add whatever you're in the mood for: dried fruits, chopped nuts, flax or chia seed, toasted coconut flakes, nutritional or protein powders, chocolate chips (it can get a little unhealthy, LOL - especially when one uses Nutella as the butter base), cinnamon, etc. You can roll them in powders or crushed nuts, too - nice extra touch and makes them less shiny looking. I assembled a mason jar collection of ingredients from the bulk section of our natural food co-op (Kroger here also usually has a bulk section) and just kept the pantry stocked - after some practice, it was easy to just mix and match whatever sounded good. There's some good variation ideas here to get started with: https://www.wellplated.com/energy-balls/

Get creative. Though watch making them TOO good - they are not calorie friendly! You can tailor it depending on nutritional /dietary needs. We would keep a container in the fridge, and get out a few frozen ones to take as snacks if we were going somewhere or on a longer workday. They'd be at right temp in a few hours.
