- 1 cup maple syrup
- 2/3 cup chunky natural peanut butter
- 2 2/3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 cup wheat germ

Example
- 1/2 cup raisins or dried apple
- 1/4 cup wheat bran
- 1/2 cup walnuts (for omega-3’s)
- 4 scoops soy protein powder (between 1/4 and 1/2 cup)
METHOD
Mix syrup and peanut butter until well blended. Stir in oats, flour, wheat germ, spices, and mix-ins. If mixture seems too dry, add water 1 teaspoon at a time. If it is too sticky, add oats 1 teaspoon at a time. Mixture should be slightly sticky, but still easily spread in a pan with greased fingers.Press into a 9 x 13 inch (23 x 33 centimeter) pan lightly greased. Bake at 350F/180C until barely browned. Do not overbake! Cut while warm into desired sized bars.
When completely cool, remove from pan with a greased spatula. Wrap each bar separately in plastic wrap and then store in a zip bag or air tight container. These freeze extremely well.
Makes about 2 dozen bars.
