Ellen's Hunky Monkey Vegan Breakfast in Hand- a 40-30-30 zone food
By: Ellen's Kitchen
3 cups rolled oats
3 tablespoons vital wheat gluten
1 cup trader joe soy protein
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons fructose
1/2 cup pecans or sunflower seeds chopped
3 tablespoons canola oil
1/3 cup chopped dried fruit or raisins
1/2 cup water or apple juice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup flour, oat or rice flour; as needed to thicken
1 cup or more additional liquid to achieve texture (varies, depending on additions)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, grease a cookie sheet.
Mix everything but the flour, let it sit a few minutes, then beat with a fork until it begins to thicken. Add enough liquid or flour to make a stiff dough.
Roll or pat out on the cookie sheet, about 1/4 inch thick, cut 20 pieces. Cut with cookie cutter or roll out a rectangle on a greased cookie sheet and separate into 4x5 rectangles for 20 biscuits or bars.
Bake 12 minutes.
The apple juice adds additional carbs, but nice flavor, and some folks enjoy a little cinnamon. If you are NOT vegan, you can beat in some eggs and reduce the water or apple juice for a little better texture and protein.

Alton Brown of Good Eats on The Food Network did a show on home made granola bars. Worth looking up if you're so inclined.
I'm lazy. I buy off the shelf. |

Don't ya just love Alton Brown - he is one of my Food Network favorites. Food Jammers is a riot - did you see the dehydrator they made? The tried to rehydrate giant slices of turkey using a bamboo steamer... lol.
I make my own bars - the problem is that they seem to disappear from the freezer. I suspect Bryan sometimes "steals" them for when he is on the road. |

Food Jammers are fun stoners, fer sure. The hot tub episode was pretty gay - keep reaching for that rainbow!
Alton Brown is my fav and far above any other cooking show. All the others just demonstrate recipes. Alton explains and teaches technique. Also in the gear he uses and explains. Other shows are all, "We've got the best 'cause we don't pay for it." Alton explains what to look for and why that extra $50 is worth it or not. I really feel involved in the action, instead of a spectator. |

| I've learned a ton from Alton and I find him quite entertaining same with "the Secret Life of...". I also like Iron Chef because they are given an ingredient and have to think on their feet. The rest to me are all the same. |

Mind if I throw another one in here. I have this one listed in my recipes as Breakfast Bars, but they make a good healthy snack anytime.
4 eggs
1/3 cup honey
6 tablespoons whole-wheat flour
1 cup wheat germ
* 1 cup husked sunflower seeds
* 1 ¼ cup mixed nuts
* 1 ¼ cup dried-coconut meat
* OR substitute 3 ½ cups of any type of your favourite “Trail Mix” type mixture from the bulk food section.
Preheat oven to 350 deg.F. Mix eggs and honey together, and then stir in remaining ingredients to make a thick batter. Spoon mixture into an 8 inch pan greased with cooking oil, margarine, or butter. Bake for about 30 minutes or until lightly browned, and then allow to cool. Divide into evenly sized bars. Yields approximately 12 bars.

Okay, this one is quick and easy to do.
I have tested it on posh muesli with lots of nuts and exotic
fruit, cheap basic muesli and low fat - lots of rice pops in
it type muesli and all worked well. The mixture makes 18 bigger
than bought ones bars so you may want to cut them in half.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F), makes 18 big bars.
5 cups muesli
1½ cups plain flour
½ cup sugar
200 g butter
5 tbsp golden syrup
1 tbsp baking soda
¼ cup boiling water
Melt the butter and golden syrup together in a saucepan or
microwave. Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Dissolve the baking soda in the boiling water and add to
the butter and syrup. Pour the liquid into the muesli mixture
and mix thoroughly. Using wet hands press the mixture into a
well greased sponge roll tray and roll firmly over the top
with a can or jar to compress the mixture. Run a knife around
the edges of the tray to neaten and firm the edges. Bake in
a preheated oven for 12 minutes.
Cool in the tray before slicing. |

OH..... I should have said where that recipe came from. It's from http://www.destitutegourmet.com
I can't link directly to the recipe as they have redesigned the website and I don't think that page works anymore.
