Prepare your homemade cereal bars and go rolling

Eating and hydrating yourself during exercise are important elements that should not be neglected to avoid a slump or a craving, which risks ruining your outing. In order to recharge the batteries, whether before, during or after training, for breakfast or as a snack, you might as well master all the ingredients. No more preservatives, additives or other colorings whose origins often come from the food industry. Above all, it's a good way to create your own cereal bars by giving free rein to your imagination or your current desires. Then, it is also a good solution to limit food waste with slightly black bananas for example. After testing a few brands and a lot of over-packaging, I finally got over the hump with a little help, it must be admitted, to make my first homemade cereal bars. It's not very complicated, it's a moment of sharing and above all it's healthy. Ingredients : 1 banana, 80 g of dried and soft apricots, 40 g of raisins, 20 g of walnuts or hazelnuts, 150 g oatmeal with goji berries, cranberries and blackcurrants, 50 g of agave syrup or 50 g of honey or even “25 g of agave syrup and 25 g of honey”. Preparation : Preheat your oven to 180°C. In a blender, place all your dried fruits and seeds. Mix everything so as to crush them slightly. You have to keep pieces. Pour into a salad bowl, add the previously mixed mixture then the flakes. Mix everything together, In a small saucepan, mash the banana and add the agave syrup or honey or both. Heat for a few minutes to make the mixture relatively liquid, Add the preparation to the dried fruit/seeds/flakes mixture. Mix everything. For cooking: Two solutions: on a plate + baking paper or in a mold. Spread the preparation to a thickness of 10mm. You will need to pack lightly for a uniform result. (I opted for a mold, it's simpler and the bars are regular). They weigh on average 48g. Place in the oven for 18 minutes at 180°. Once out of the oven, let your preparation cool then unmold. If you have opted for a plate, cut your 60x20 mm bars. Without any preservatives, they should be consumed within 5 to 6 days. To keep them soft, it is best to put them in an airtight container in a cool place. Puffed rice cereal bar It couldn't be simpler, faster and all without any cooking. Ingredients : 50 g of puffed rice, 150 g of milk or dark chocolate (depending on your preference), 60 g of butter, 3 tablespoons of grated coconut, 20 g of crushed walnuts or hazelnuts, 50 g of raisins, chopped with a knife, Preparation : Melt the chocolate and butter in the microwave or in a stove over low heat, Add the walnuts or hazelnuts, raisins and puffed rice. To mix everything, Fill each section of the mold, Leave to cool in the fridge for 2 hours, After unmolding, it's up to you to condition the bars. Let your imagination run wild The possibilities are endless for making variations of your oatmeal or puffed rice cereal bars. They are above all a good way to treat yourself with a multitude of ingredients such as: dark or milk chocolate, nuts, figs, prunes and seeds of squash, sesame, sunflower, etc. ". The same goes for the binder “honey, maple syrup, etc…”. You don't like banana, you can remove it, but you will need to add agave syrup or homemade applesauce to ensure the binding. Finally, a little less practical on the bike or while running, it is always possible to cover the cereal bars with melted chocolate. It's nicer, but you risk getting your fingers full. It's up to you, I'll go ride or not to taste them ;-)
