Seeking energy bar recipe using 5 or fewer natural ingredients



Hi all,

I'm looking to make my own energy bars
once a week and store them in the fridge
to use as needed. I want to make inexpensive
bars using basic ingredients -- not factory-made
stuff like protein powder and fructose syrup.
I was wondering if anyone knows of a good
recipe to make a simple tasty bar.

A few side comments:

I read once that a banana coated with
peanut butter is dietarily the same as
the typical energy bar. Too bad that
I'm allergic to bananas.

Also, in the past while perusing health
food stores I've noticed these "Energee
Cube" things in the bulk section that seem
to have few ingredients. It's been a while
since I've looked for them. I recall
they were pricey, around $1 per cube.

Lastly, I'm under the impression that
the large number of ingredients, or
expensive ingredients like figs, that
most home-made recipes require is the
reason why more people don't make
energy bars. I've certainly noticed
people griping anyway. I wish
a novel solution would emerge.

Thanks for any help.
