Energy bar recipe

I've been experimenting a bit recently with making my own energy bars. I've based them loosely on this recipe from Runners' World.

In today's version, I found that someone had pinched my old bananas so I peeled and grated four small apples instead then blended them with half a cup of coconut oil (instead of the vegetable oil) and added a cup of honey and dark brown sugar (instead of the cup of sugar). I started off using the recipe quantities of oats and flour but I think my apple mixture must have been a lot wetter so ended up adding lots of extra oats until the mixture was stiff rather than sloppy.  I also added dessicated coconut, half a cup of omega seed mix, chopped crystallized ginger, chopped dates and sultanas, ground nutmeg, cinnamon and ginger and some caraway seeds. I greased and lined a shallow baking sheet using coconut oil, pressed the mixture into the tin and cooked on about 180 deg C for 20-25 minutes.

Once cooled, I've cut them into bite sized pieces so I can stick two or three in my bum bag for long runs and see how I get along with eating them on the hoof.  I'll have to hide some as I've noticed that they disappear rather quickly when the teenogre is home alone !
