So, you like the cycling bars, right? Well I like them a LOT, and go through so many of them that I needed to make a double batch. I'm going to figure out the cost of a batch & per bar once I remember to save all my receipts!
The Making of a Double Batch! :)
 |
| Big bowl, lots of yummy. |
 |
| Mix it up good! Once that binder is in, not much is going to change. |
 |
| Put the binders in, and heat it up! |
 |
| Continually stir, once it bubbles like this (or has big bubbles in the middle) you're ready to pour! If you're keen, you may have notice I switched where I was heating it...I went to gas - if you do this it is really easy to burn the mixture, and agave nectar + almond butter is not cheap! |
 |
A good trick is to pour some then mix, then pour more, etc until you have empty the pot. It makes mixing much easier and a lot smoother and, most of all, more even. The bigger the batch, the more critical it is to do this - such as tonight's double batch!
 |
| That would be a 17.5"x11" pan and is about 1" deep. Lots of bars. |
 |
I had some extra from the big bowl, so I made some Power Balls. Some sports require one ball, cycling requires a lot of them.
One critical note: the balls do not hold together well, you need more heavy binder (almond butter, etc) for them to actually hold shape well. These were pretty fragile! |

Just wanted to give y'all a little foodie goodness!
