So for the last couple of months I have been experimenting with energy bar recipes. The ingredients are focused around keeping inflammation down. I use pastured eggs which are high in Omega 3. Hens fed a grain diet produce eggs which are high in Omega 6 and too much Omega 6 in the diet produced inflammation. I use Sea Salt to get trace minerals which are perfect for your adrenals among other functions…like keeping the muscles from cramping. I use Coconut Oil because it is a medium chain triglyceride which absorbs rather quickly for a fat. Nuts are a good option but I have a small allergy to them so in keeping the inflammation down I don’t use nuts. I get the protein from the eggs.
Cook 2 cups of Sweet Brown Rice in 4 cups of water.
When rice is finished cooking preheat oven to 375 F.
In a bowl mix 6 eggs
6-9 Figs diced
1 cup raisins
3 Tablespoons Molasses
1 Tablespoon Sea Salt
6 Tablespoons Coconut Oil
nuts are optional…or whatever else you want
Now mix cooked rice into egg mixture then pour into a 9×13 pan and bake for about 40-45 mins uncovered until top starts to brown. After cooling for 30 minutes they are ready to eat. Let cool COMPLETELY prior to putting into refrigerator.
Cut them into approx. 2×2 inch squares and wrap in parchment paper then place into plastic bag to put into your jersey or wherever you carry your food.
Experiment and if you trip onto something better send me a note so I can try it.

I approve. I haven't done the molasses yet. I'm partial to raisins and PB. I feel like molasses would fit right into he equation.

Gotta try this. I have a recipe that is very easy, but doesn't have the protein.
