This may be a silly question but I ain't no great british bake off contender.....
I make a lot of my ow energy bars based on using mashed bananas, peanut butter and honey to bind oats. (Basically mash all of those ingredients up and then bake them, rather than typical flapjack recipes that rely on loads of melted butter and sugar etc).
I want to make a mocha variant, and was wondering how best to incorporate the coffee? Should i brew up some really strong espresso and add it to the mix, or could i just add finely ground coffee direct to the mix, thus keeping it dryer? I'm a little concerned that adding liquid espresso may prevent it all from binding together given i rely on sticky peanut butter and banana etc for the bonding agent...
