Quick Peanut Butter Oatmeal Energy Bar

[kontaktseistrup]

you shouldn't use protein powder in energy bars, use almonds or other nuts instead

[littlepyro13]

Just made 'em man! I used sugarless syrup (all I had) and they turned out fairly beast. Props!

[redbaron422]

Great idea, great video! always find it hard to get a healthy snack when I am on the move, and  don't want to spend money on expensive energy bars. this is the perfect solution! thanks.

[HealthyNactive]

@redbaron422, just taylor the amount of the ingrediants to your own taste. Use either honey or agave for the sweetener so it's all 'natural'.

[cougarbahia]

im diabetic can u suggest something other than corn syrup? ty karen

[HealthyNactive]

@cougarbahia, I've recently tried Blue Agave (Organic sweetener) that I got from Whole Foods market. I know that most diabetics should stay away from sugar in general. I plan to do a vid on a energy bar that is much better than this one. A baked one.

[laurentprodz]

@HealthyNactive get stevia its way better for you but just a bit expensive i think

[HealthyNactive]

@laurentprodz, I'll try it. Been using Agave and Honey which is getting expensive.

[HealthyNactive]

@laurentprodz, I'll look for it and give it a try. Thanks for the tip.

[porkyboi15]

Can you still make this without the protien powder?

[HealthyNactive]

@porkyboi15, yes. I'm going to make a vid on baking your own energy bars soon which will be much better than this one... I only make these in a pinch...

[915olivares11]

is it ok if we use pure water for the dry ingredients to mix???

[HealthyNactive]

@915olivares11, it would only be for VIP's, so it is OK for you.

[jetlagsyndrome]

Fuck, I'm gonna make this next week!

[jetlagsyndrome]

Fuck, I'm gonna make this next week!

[Chris19595]

its actually really good but i didnt put fruits in it i put peanuts but i think i used too much peanut butter but anyways great recipe

[stitchliam]

I made these and they were so nice, I used cranberries

[panthersl56]

how long do you leave it in microwave

[HealthyNactive]

@panthersl56, a few minutes, just to cook the oats, You need to stir it a few times. I'm going to post a baked version of an energy bar that you can freeze the extras and use whenever you want. This one is just a quickie.

[lemonbandaid]

Im eating it right now, its not bad

[Sowyet]

@ssbbplayer100 yes

[autumn283]

why dont u cook it? because wont it taste bad with un cook oat meal?

[HealthyNactive]

@autumn283, this is just a quick one for going out the door fast. The microwave heat is just enough. I should have another baked energy bar up in a few weeks. It's much better...

[goldenscales]

@autumn283 you don't need to cook it. the oatmeal will absord excess liquid, go sft, and easier to chew. years ago, i was given some oatmeal mixed with cordial powder, don't know what you call it there, and it was left in the bag overnight. made for a great energy mix on the trail.

[bright5086200]

mine is peanut butter, peanuts, protein powder, oats and i touch of water to make them hard. They are better than the shakes. And easy to carry with you.

[Sowyet]

corn syrop is gay

[HealthyNactive]

@Sowyet, yeah, you can make it with Honey instead...

[Sowyet]

@HealthyNactive thx

[goldenscales]

@Sowyet so are those who spell syrup, 'syrop'.

[SBha30]

I will try to make it, but with no corn syrup. Maybe I will add olive oil to make it maliable. Thanks for posting the video HealthyNactive.

[beckly321]

That sounds simple and yummy. I do not own (or want) a microwave, though, so I'd be heating on the stove - do you just heat it until it's easier to combine or do you want it bubbling a bit? Thanks!

[CajunSpicyKitchen1]

Sounds yummy

[lsudave87]

i am very excited to try this, im thinking of adding a little protein powder with dried berries. looks good and a heck of a lot cheaper than buying powerbars

[HealthyNactive]

@lsudave87 Hi Isudave, I'm going to put up another Energy bar vid that is baked. This one is just when you need to get out the door and are in a hurry...

[lsudave87]

@HealthyNactive

cool, let me know when u do the baked one!!!!

[lsudave87]

@HealthyNactive

cool, let me know when u do the baked one, nothing like a good energy bar before some singletrack!!!!!!

[mitchwayne07]

Thanks for the recipe. The only difference between mine and yours are the oats. I didn't have any plain regular oats, all I had were the flavored instant breakfast type (Apples and Cinnamon). Adds a little bit more sugar =\ ... but it's damn good lol.

[beckyeyes]

I had made these today - soo yummy! Thanks for the recipe

[ELTRIATE]

i tried it and it was good thanks

[jaboipell]

good video man

[HealthyNactive]

Hi sexysty, yes I leave the leftovers in the fridge. Just wrap them up in plastic wrap and in a sandwich bag... Let me know how you like them...

[sexystylist2007]

Do you store leftovers in fridge too?

[sexystylist2007]

can't wait to try it!!!

[HealthyNactive]

Hi Tact, try it out and let me know how you like it...

[TacticalTupperware]

Nice, thanks for another great vid!!

[HealthyNactive]

Hi Matt, I actually used both as I had creamy and chunky... =} It's up to you... Hope you've been riding!

[mattmoksnes]

thanks for answering my question man and I actually haven't been riding for a little while cause I crashed on my bike and bent it so now the back tire drags on the rim so I either have to fix it or buy a new bike I have been thinking of buying a new bike for a while now cause the one I have is pretty old and it has a lot of problems as it is so I just might buy a new bike when I can afford it that is.

[HealthyNactive]

Hmm, your not suppose to be crashing after watching my vids.... lol.

If your going to get another bike, you might want to get a used one as there are always people selling their old bike because it just collects dust in the garage. You can get some pretty good deals on used bikes compared to buying new. GL

[mattmoksnes]

lol I didn't crash after watching your videos buddy I crashed cause I wasn't paying attention I liked turned to sharp and the front wheel like kinda got twisted up and I totally like flew off the bike only like a few feet though but it sucked cause I landed right on my palm and wrist so it hurt for a few days but am all better now oh and thanks for the advice depending on how much money I am willing to spend I just might get a used bike.

[mattmoksnes]

nice video man I might do that sometime looks like it tastes really good I was just wondering cause I couldn't really tell from the video do you use chunky peanut butter or creamy.
