Kylie's Date and Cranberry Energy Bars

Last Sunday Shane (see recent rider profile) amazed us all when he pulled out some home made energy bars as we enjoyed our post ride coffee at Conti Cafe.

The boys thought they tasted a treat so Shane agreed to share Kylie's recipe.

Kylie's Date and Cranberry Energy Bars

 

 (makes 15 bars)

 

• 1 cup of chopped dates (stones removed)
• 1 cup of walnuts
• 1 cups of plain almonds 
• 3 tablespoons of golden syrup (or natural honey) 
• 1 cup of desiccated coconut (unsweetened)
• 1 cup of mixed fruit (can be replaced with raisins)
• 1 cup of dried cranberries (can be replaced with sultanas to keep the cost down)  
• A little extra coconut for dusting on top the energy bars if you feel creative. 

1. Pour the almonds and walnuts into food processor and grind into a rough powder. 

 

2. Add all the other ingredients and process into a sticky dough like consistency. 

 

3. Press the dough into a rectangular shallow baking dish and sprinkle the top any remaining coconut. 

 

4. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours before cutting into bars.

 

5. Wrap in grease proof paper or alfoil.

 

6. Enjoy!!
