Two additions I like (and I used them in the 6 hr Mt. Bike Race last weekend)  If you grind the flax seed, you’ll need to add an extra egg and also add a little extra honey and oil, or the dough is a little dry.  I also added some Maltodextrin  (1/3 Cup) for added calorie density.  Best part, they are a whole lot cheaper then Cliff BarsJ

 

Thank you Kristen for sending this out, they really are great and taste wonderful.

 

 

Due to popular demand, here is a recipe for homemade energy bars: http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/bird-seed-energy-bars/Detail.aspx. They are quite yummy and a nice way to stock up on energy bars.  They store well in the freezer until you are ready to grab one for a ride.

Instead of adding whole flax seeds, I ground my flax seeds in a coffee grinder before adding them to the mix.  I skipped the sesame seeds but I see no reason why they wouldn't make a great addition to the energy bars!  I also ground up the sunflower seeds in my coffee grinder, but you probably don't need to.  I also made mine vegan by using Egg Replacer and they hold together just fine.

Enjoy!
