These are always ready to go in my fridge. I find this recipe to be the perfect blend of short-fused sugars and slow burn carbs. They get me fired out of a cannon for those 6am races and keep me going on those +40mi rides while others are bonking. Plus you get to have a triple espresso on demand. It will take some experimenting with the ratios depending on the temps where you are. A rule of thumb is these should never feel dry or cumbly when first forming into blocks as they always get dryer over time.
Makes 3 large or 6 bite sized energy bombs:
- 1/2 cup whole grain, rolled oats
- 1/2 cup quinoa (pre-cooked & refrigerated)
- 1/2 cup sweetened, shredded coconut flakes (If using dried & unsweetened add more honey)
- 1/3 cup of any dark chocolate; mini chips, chopped, or my favorite chocolate covered espresso beans
- 2-3 tbsp peanut butter
- 1-2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp agave nectar (or just increase honey)
- 1.5-2 tsp. instant espresso powder
