Here are some delicious recipes for DIY energy bars!
Bars are THE energy suppliers on road bike tours. Especially when they are homemade. Head chef Jürgen Weingarten from Munich's Conti Bistro and keen road cyclist reveals two recipes.

Juicy oat bars with dried fruit

- 100 g margarine
- 120 ml water
- 200 g honey
- 250 g fine oat flakes
- 200 g coconut or ground nuts (hazelnuts or almonds), depending on flavour
- 250 g wholemeal flour
- 100 g chopped dried fruit such as apples, plums, figs, sultanas or apricots
- pinch of salt

5. place the dough on a sheet of baking paper and spread to a thickness of 1-2 centimetres (trick: place another sheet of baking paper on top of the dough and roll out with a rolling pin).

6 Place the baking paper with the rolled-out dough on a baking tray and cut the dough into bars.

7 Pull them apart slightly so that they do not bake. Bake in the oven at 195 degrees for about 15 minutes. Leave the bars to cool slightly and wrap in greaseproof paper. They can be kept for up to three weeks at low temperatures in airtight packaging.

TIPS

- Mix the ingredients until lukewarm so that the wholemeal flour binds better!

Strudel pastry pockets
