Cycling Energy Bars

As a busy working mom, I'm always looking for ways to save time and energy in the kitchen. That's why I love these cycling energy bars. They're quick and easy to make, and they're packed with nutrients that will keep me going strong all day long.

The best part about these bars is that they're customizable. I can add any ingredients I want, so I can tailor them to my own taste and dietary needs. For example, I like to add dried fruit, nuts, and seeds to my bars. But you can also add chocolate chips, peanut butter, or anything else you like. The possibilities are endless!

These bars are perfect for a quick breakfast or snack, and they're also great for on-the-go. I always keep a few in my bag so I can have a healthy snack whenever I need it. If you're looking for a delicious and nutritious way to power your day, give these cycling energy bars a try. You won't be disappointed!

Step-by-step

1. Heat the maple syrup and peanut butter over medium heat until hot. Stir often to prevent burning the bottom.
2. Combine the cereals, cranberries and chocolate chips in a large mixing bowl. Pour and stir in the heated maple syrup/peanut butter mix into the cereal mixture. Mix well until it is all coated.
3. Press into a square pan. Let cool completely before cutting. Once cut i freeze them and grab a couple every time we head out.
4. Only eat these if your exercising heavy. Each 2X2 piece delivers about 250 calories (wowza!) and 40 grams of carbs. But it's a perfect dose of energy for a long endurance ride.
