You could make a coffee gel relatively easily and add it to the top of the bars.
You could mix it with figs, let it soak/absorb. chop figs add sesame seeds, oats and nuts
mix it with chocolate to thicken and then incorporate it into a mix or use as a topping. Or mix with cashew/almond butter and chocolate to create a more creamy mixture
Depends how much is for the flavour and how much is for the caffeine etc

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...
