I&#8217;m tackling home-baked Energy Bars!&nbsp; Most &#8220;healthy&#8221; bars on the market are fairly expensive and fall into one of two categories; they have enough sugar and processing to qualify as candy or they just flat out taste like cardboard.&nbsp; The challenge was clear: create a healthy bar that is both enjoyable to eat and chock full of whole foods.&nbsp; You&#8217;re not going to believe how yummy these are!<\/p>\n<h3>A Better Way to Bar<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-30760\"

protein\/energy bar, my first question was &#8220;What&#8217;s the difference?&#8221;&nbsp; It turns out that energy bars are used mainly as recovery in endurance training, and can be eaten before, during or after a workout.&nbsp; They are calorie-dense so they can be used as a quick breakfast or something to keep you going until that late lunch.&nbsp; Protein bars are more for body-builders looking for bulk muscle.&nbsp; We decided to go for an energy bar, but one that included some protein since vegetarians don&#8217;t always get a lot in their diets.<\/p>\n<p>I read a lot of different recipes for home-baked bars, trying to find one with the ideal balance of ingredients.&nbsp; They included everything from silken tofu to protein powder to peanut butter to corn syrup.&nbsp; Like the packaged energy bars, a lot of the recipes included way too much sweeteners and fake stuff.&nbsp; I finally stumbled across a promising recipe from the <a href=\"https:\/\/bean.idaho.gov\/recipes\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Idaho Bean Commission<\/a>.&nbsp; Yep, the same site that inspired last week&#8217;s elegant <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomeatathlete.com\/apple-pinto-tart\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">apple tart<\/a>.&nbsp; (big shout out to the No Meat Athlete readers in Idaho for providing the tax dollars to this sweet commission!)<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-30759\"

full cup and a half of white beans, plus grape nuts cereal, coconut, cinnamon and dates.&nbsp;&nbsp; Those are some great ingredients that can be hard to include in your diet each day, so it is exciting to roll them into a more convenient form.&nbsp;&nbsp; (Did you know that dates have as much or more potassium than bananas?!)&nbsp; However, there were a couple of elements I wanted to change to make this bar marathon-ready.<\/p>\n<p>The first easy swap was whole wheat flour for the all-purpose flour.&nbsp;&nbsp; Then by subbing in canola oil and applesauce, I was able to eliminate the 7 tablespoons of margarine in the recipe.&nbsp; I figured the applesauce was naturally sweet enough on it&#8217;s own so I axed the added sugar as well.&nbsp; There&#8217;s also a lot of sweetness from the dates, so I brought the half cup of honey called for down to just 2 tablespoons, then added some flax-water paste to fill in the gaps.<\/p>\n<h3>Homemade Vegan Energy Bar Recipe<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>The &#8220;dry&#8221; Ingredients:<\/p>\n<p>1\/2 cup whole wheat flour<\/p>\n<p>2\/3 cup oats<\/p>\n<p>1 cup Grape Nuts cereal<\/p>\n<p>3\/4 cup raisins (I used golden)<\/p>\n<p>1 cup shredded coconut (I could only find sweetened)<\/p>\n<p>1\/3 cup unsalted almonds, chopped<\/p>\n<p>1\/3 cup unsalted cashews, chopped<\/p>\n<p>1 cinnamon stick, ground (or 2 tsp ground, but I totally recommend the taste of freshly ground!)<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;wet&#8221; ingredients:<\/p>\n<p>2 tbs flax seed<\/p>\n<p>1\/4 cup warm water<\/p>\n<p>1 1\/2 cups cooked Great Northern Beans (or 1 15 oz can)<\/p>\n<p>15 dates, seeds removed and chopped (about 1 cup or 1\/2 a lb)<\/p>\n<p>1 tsp vanilla extract<\/p>\n<p>2 tbs honey<\/p>\n<p>1 tbs canola oil<\/p>\n<p>1\/2 cup applesauce (I made mine on the stove by cooking two peeled and diced apples for about 30 minutes with 1\/4 cup of water, 2 tbs pomegranate molasses, and 1 tbs maple syrup)<\/p>\n<p>Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.<\/p>\n<p>If starting with dry beans, soak a half pound over night, then simmer for about one hour or until soft.&nbsp; If starting with canned, rinse well to remove saltiness.&nbsp; Chop the beans roughly either by hand or in a food processor.&nbsp; They don&#8217;t need to be processed into a puree, just tiny pieces.<\/p>\n<p>Grind the flax seed and mix it with the water, set aside to thicken.<\/p>\n<p>Combine the dry ingredients together first and mix well.&nbsp; Add the wet ingredients and mix until uniformly incorporated.&nbsp; Press into a greased 9&#215;13 pan or casserole dish.&nbsp; Bake for a total of 20-25 minutes, rotating the pan half way through.&nbsp; (Mine were finished at about 23 minutes).&nbsp; Cool completely, then cut into 24 bars.&nbsp;&nbsp; I cut a line down the middle of the pan lengthwise then 12 cuts across.&nbsp; Leave unwrapped for harder bars; put in airtight container for softer bars.&nbsp; Toast cut bars in the toaster oven for a crispy outside.&nbsp; If keeping longer than one week, wrap and freeze.<\/p>\n<p>Nutrition facts for whole pan \/ one bar<\/p>\n<p>calories from fat: 919 \/ 38.3<\/p>\n<p>calories: 3779.3 \/
