Mystery muffin/trail bar

Alli — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 21:47:34 +0000

Sam and I cooked something up today - I’m jotting down ingredients while I remember. We’ve only tasted the mix pre-bake, so final review is pending. Very tasty mix, though!

Heat together:
Karo syrup
honey
butter (Brummel and Brown yogurt kind)
brown sugar

Mix together:
Kashi Cocoa Beach granola
Any other granola with berries and such
Package of instant oatmeal any flavor that suits you (we used cinnamon roll)
Raisins - three 3 yr old handfuls
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt

Stir in heated ingredients. Smush into a tin or onto cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for however long you feel makes sense! I didn’t measure any of the above ingredients, nor did I work from a recipe. The amounts are my recollection of what I dumped into the bowl. Chomp at your own risk!

Aloha!

Trail snacks

Cut out the green stems from strawberries and fill the resultant hole with chocolate. Freeze overnight. Enjoy on the trail!
Slice a banana lengthwise, spread on Nutella, insert popsicle stick, freeze overnight. Enjoy!

After-hike smoothie!

Nothing is better than taking off your hiking boots and putting on slippers… Ok, perhaps a cold, filling smoothie would be great! Here’s one we made today with stuff you probably already have at home:

1 cup milk
1 banana (apple bananas are fine! we used two of these)
1/4 cup peanut butter (we like the organic kind that is really peanuty)
2 tbsp honey
1 cup Cheerios (Honey Nut is really good for this! It’s our “protein powder” - ha ha! really just to thicken it a tad)
1 cup crushed ice

Makes 2 8oz servings - 373 cal each serving

Blend it up and enjoy! See if it tastes like the famous Kailua Monkey from Lanikai Juice. We’re totally hooked on that!!!
