When hunger pangs strike and you want to avoid any kind of junk food, this is when the Energy bar comes into picture. I am a junky to the core,but decided to give it all up and binge on healthier stuff. So, read aboutEnergy bar , and decided to give it a try finally. But there is a twist in the tail ....err tale ;) I read a couple of recipes for Energy bars and thought I'll experiment to make something different. The experimental bug made me do this and here is how I went about.
Ingredients:
- 1 Cup porridge oats
- 1 Cup Atta (wheat flour)
- 1/2 Cup walnuts (roasted,partially powdered)
- 1/2 Cup Almonds (roasted,partially powdered)
- 1/2 Cup raisins
- 1/2 Cup Honey
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp Vanilla essence
- 4-5 tbsp milk
- 1 tbsp melted butter
Method:
Take a wide bowl . Put wheat, oats, baking powder,baking soda and mix well with a wooden spatula. Now add almonds, walnuts, raisins and mix well . Finally add milk, vanilla essence,butter, honey into the above mixture and mix well such that all the ingredients bind well. Grease a square baking tin and spread the mixture evenly and flatten on top.
Pre-heat the oven and bake the preparation for 25 minutes at 200* C (bake until a knife comes out clean when pierced in the tin). Once it is done, allow to cool and cut them into medium sized rectangles. Wrap them in aluminium foil and refrigerate it .
The energy bars that I made were not very sweet ( wanted it that way) people who prefer it sweet can add 1 cup of honey instead of a half cup.
