Left to right, top to bottom: rolled oats (x2); ground flaxseed; cashew pieces; dried kiwi; dried cranberries; unsweetened coconut; poppyseeds; and granola. The only things that I couldn't find containers for were a handful of the granola, a big bag of flour, and some *ahem* chocolate. Nice Rachael, nice.
Note: When I poured the oats into the containers, the powder got everywhere.. that's why there's stuff sticking to the container. Amateur!
I took some of these ingredients and modified a recipe that I found on a blog, for Homemade (Re)Fuel Bars (I would like to take this time to mention that implies I need something to (Re)Fuel from... hello Gym, how have you been?). Here is my version:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup oats
- 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup ground flax seed
- 1/2 cup liquid egg whites (4 egg whites)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup craisins
- 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut
- sprinkle of flaxseed (full seed) and coconut for top
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
- Spray a loaf pan (8 x 4?) with vegetable oil cooking spray.
- Spread batter into pan evenly (I used a spoon to flatten evenly).
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Allow to cool before cutting. I didn't, and started cutting them before they were cool - and they were sticky and didn't cut well. Wait at least 20 mins before cutting!
I cut these into 6 bars (1-1.5x4) and covered with tinfoil, blatantly copying Tina.. which got me to thinking.. what is more environmentally friendly? Disposable plastic wrap? Or disposable tin foil?
I only ended up wrapping five... because I had to taste one! They are dense, but really good - the craisins and coconut made them sweeter than the original recipe, I'm sure. Yum!
