Great Biking Snack: Fruity Oaties Recipe

Here is the recipe for my favorite biking snack. I call it "Fruity Oaties".

2 cups oats
1/2 cup raisins (and/or cranberries, chopped apricots, or prunes)
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup peanut butter (softened in microwave)
1/3 cup applesauce
1 egg (well beaten)
1 banana, mashed
1/2 cup chopped nuts (or I just use crunchy peanut butter)

Mix in large bowl. Press into a greased 9 inch baking pan. (I like to double the recipe and spread on a cookie sheet.) Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes or until edges are good and brown. Cut into squares.

Yum! Thanks for sharing, that sounds great.

Lakerider, mind if I stick this in the TE community google doc cookbook? I will credit it to your username :)

There are a couple biking-related sections... Pre-ride fuel, bento-box goodies (during ride) and post-ride recovery.

I would be honored to have my recipe in the cookbook!

I put it in! Let me know if you want to write a little note to preface the recipe as I have done with mine and I will add it. I also filed it under Bento Box Goodies because it seems like you have them for the road?

Reesha,
Yes, they're great for the road. They really give me an energy boost! I tried the link to the cookbook, but I wasn't able to get to it. What do I need to do?

I'm working on it... Did it say you had to log in?

I asked possegal who manages the Weight Loss spreadsheet for us how to make the doc available for viewing by everyone! Hopefully I'll find out soon. :o

Sounds yummy. Thanks for sharing. Will definitely makes these.

It told me i didn't have permission to access that document and let me request permission.

Hearing the name of that recipe makes me want Froot Loops, something I probably haven't eaten for forty years.

If you request permission, I shall most certainly grant it! :)

Reesha,
I tried the link again and went right to it. Thanks!

Thank you, your liege ;)

I wish it weren't so much fuss to make it visible.

In the meantime...

The cookbook is a great idea!

Aha! Possegirl came to the rescue... here's the cookbook. It will automatically update as changes are made.

Reesha, I love the front cover of our TE cookbook. It's brilliant that..edible fruity bike!! Did you do that? I would suggest you add this new, fixed link to other topic titled threads on cookbook or start-up a new thread topic..so people can find the cookbook. :)

I found it in google images. I should probably cite the source!

I wish I made that cool little picture!

Lakerider, they sound delicious. Assuming I don't eat them all immediately, how long do you find they stay fresh for? Have you frozen them? Thx!

maryellen,
Fruity Oaties will keep in the refrigerater for several days or you can keep them in the freezer. They usually don't last long around my house though. I like to reheat them in the microwave when I eat them at home.

thx! i find snacks last longer at my home if they are quickly frozen! thx for sharing this recipe.

I didn't have any "Fruity Oaties" to take with me on my ride today. I really missed them! I'll have to make more soon.
