Husband started going to the gym in the evenings (well...most evenings) so wanted to pack something he could eat before his workout. He usually doesn't eat anything after lunch so he needs something by evening. Store-bought bars are ok once in a while, but I'd rather avoid the hidden ingredients in them. Here's how to make your own at home.
Roast the following:
1 cup oats
1 cup puffed rice
2 tbsp sesame seeds (white and/or black)
1 tbsp flax seeds
Keep aside.
In a shallow pan on a low flame, heat
4 tbsp butter
and add (according to taste)
5tbsp brown sugar
5tbsp honey
Stir till the mixture becomes caramalised.
Add a pinch of salt and a few drops of vanilla.
Stir in the roasted items till well coated.
At this point, you could also add chopped dry fruits like walnuts, raisins, almonds or figs. Mix and match according to what you like.
Then evenly spread out the mixture on a non-stick or greased sheet and let it cool. You could push in some chocolate chips at this stage.
Once cool, you can cut them into strips or squares, and store them in an air-tight container.
