I actually finished this project today even though I started it yesterday, so I am counting it as "What I am doing today?" I made a (second) batch) of Emergency Ration bars. The first batch turned out so well my wife confiscated it, and there won't be anything left for emrgencies. That's O.K. I'm glad she liked it, and it was such a big hit. Anyway, I finished the second batch; cut it up into individual bars; wrapped in parchment paper; put in sandwich bags; and they are in the freezer.
If you hunt or hike or like to spend time outdoors this would be ideal for your backpack. If you are still packing lunch for your school kids it would be an easy throw in dessert. Here is the recipe:
2 cups Maple Syrup
4 tablespoons raw Honey
2 tablespoons Peanut Butter
1 cup Frosted Flakes (I used regular Corn Flakes since we had them in the house)
3 cups Oatmeal
1 cup Protein Powder (I used powdered Peanut Butter, again, because we had it in the house)
1 cup sliced Almonds
1 cup raisins
Put the wet ingredients in a bowl (including the Peanut Butter) and microwave for two minutes. Stir thoroughly.
Put the dry ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
Pour the heated wet ingredients into the dry mixture and mix thoroughly
Put the finished mixture into a baking dish and bake for 20 minutes @ 375 degrees.
I used a 9" x 9" glass baking dish and came out with 8 bars that are about 2" x 4". The entire process took about one hour from start to taking the dish out of the oven.
See what you think. My wife says I could make it once a month. She eats it for breakfast.
