Hey y'all

Anyone have any tried-and-true home-made energy bar recipies they use? I've used torq bars in the past while on the run, but at over $4 per bar these days, I wouldn't mind finding soemthing home-made that still delivers.

What's your favorite?

Hi Patrick,

I have been using Allen Lim's rice "cakes" for training. I really like them, they are easy to make, and very portable. The recipe should pop up if you search for it on Google. If you are looking for more of a true "energy bar", Ellie Krieger has a great recipe on the Food Network website.

I am not vegan, but wanted to try something new. Seriously, they are delish!

I've been making/using those Allen Lim rice cakes for my long training rides (6-7+hours) and now the first brevet of the season. Those things are the bomb!
