I realize I often satisfy off-hour snack/protein needs with an assembled medley of ingredients (e.g. nuts, dried fruit, oatmeal, aforementioned protein bars), none of which seem adequate alone. The closest I've found to a satisfying protein/snack bar, is Sparrow Market's everything but the kitchen sink cookie (oatmeal, nuts, fruit, chocolate, yum).
So I've been toying with the idea of making a soylent-esque food bar.
Today's attempt produced such a delicious product that I thought I'd share the recipe. It still needs a lot of work to increase the nutrition content, but it tastes as good as a cookie and uses very little sugar and no flour. Let me know if you have suggestions for the next iteration.
