Praying for no leakage or soggy bottoms !!

My main problem when cycling is I cannot eat the energy bars and hate the rubbish you can buy on the market to keep you going. I quite like the idea of knowing the ingredients in stuff I eat. As a rule I don't think you should eat anything that has ingredients that you cannot ask a child to spell. 

So today I am going to be Mary Berry and make my own....

So here's hoping for no leakage or soggy bottoms....

Paul & Mark thank you so much for donating to the charities, you get first dibs on them, as long as they are edible.

The Recipe....   (Thanks to GCN)

HOMEMADE ENERGY BARS

• Sunflower Oil – 120ml/3/4 cup
• Soft Dark Brown Sugar – 200g/1 cup
• Golden Syrup – 2 tbsp
• Peanut Butter – 1 tbsp
• Vanilla Extract – 1/2 tsp

Melt these ingredients in a pan over a low heat until melted and mixed together.

Next, add:

• Sesame Seeds – 25g / 2 tbsp
• Sunflower Seeds – 25g / 2 tbsp
• Flaked Almonds – 50g / 1/2 cup
• Sultanas – 50g / 1/2 cup

Gradually stir in:-

• Thick cut porridge oats/oatmeal – 225g / 8 oz

Transfer mixture to a baking tin lined with parchment. Roughly 25 x 15cm or 10 x 6 inches.

Press down firmly with a metal fork.

Place in an oven at 180 *C for 10 – 15 minutes, keeping an eye on them so they don’t get over done.

Finally, leave to cool in the tin before you take them out and cut them.
