So I was experimenting a bit with foods for 4+h training rides as imo bars are way too fucking expensive. Then theres a lot of recipies around for flap-jacks or malt loaf but most of them are with much fat and/or processed sugar, which I don't like.
Some important characteristics I wanted for the food were:
Healthy
Fast & slow carbs
Low fat
Easy to bring in jersey pocket
Easy digestible
Not crumbly nor sticky, too dry or too soggy
Taste good
Finally I did this recipe:
Ingredients
2 bananas (Preferably very ripe ones)
2 tbsp honey
2 handful studentenhaver which is the Dutch name for a blend of raisins and dried nuts
70g rolled oats
50g flour
Pre heat oven 170 degrees
Mash the bananas
Add the other ingredients and mix together
Make 10 portions
Bake for 20 minutes
This pic is of the first batch. The recipe has been changed a bit since but the result looks quite the same.
