Any ideas? Need to think of something like flapjack, but without the need to either cook it or use so much fat and sugar.
Going to make some protein bars with some protein shake powder, but the only recipie i can find is about 15g of fat and 35g of sugar on top of the protein.
No such thing!!
there must be surely! Must be some magical sticky ingredient to substitute the honey/syrup for?

Must resist the obvious joke - sticky, protein blah blah blah
This is my healthy-ish version - more of an "energy blob" than flapjack:
65g raisins - cover with boiling water for 10 mins, then pour off water
add to 225g figs, 125g dates and 125g apricots (all roughly chopped)
add 65g crunchy peanut butter and 65g mini choc chips
put in blender for approx 1 minute, then form into 2.5cm balls and roll in cocoa powder (makes about 25)
They keep really well in the freezer

Mrs. T Has the right idea, might give it a go with varying proportions of fruit/oats as its still 25g of sugar per blob. I'm hoping the protein mix will thicken it up a bit as well.
NZCol, would you like some? Without all the added sugar it may be a little salty, but no ones ever complained 🙂
this months Cycling+ has a recipe for bars that uses pureed fruit,might be worth a look

Get yourself to Tesco's and buy some Jordans cereal bars
job done 😀
enfht, read the thread! Jordans are a) full of sugar, b)not protein bars.
Chill Winston 😳
Nope, the thread doesnt say anything about Jordans being full of sugar and no protein.
Are you prejudiced against warewolf masks, is that it?
