Fiber energy bars

Yes, I tried yet another fiber recipe. It also turned out good, which is why I'm posting about it, but my kids still don't really care for it. However, after trying all these things using all whole wheat, I think I can now start making bread using 100% whole wheat. At least my kids love my wheat bread, although I've never done it with all whole wheat before. I recently switched to hard white wheat instead of hard red, and we like it a whole lot better.

Anyway, the recipe for these bars I found here, but I think you could very well use your own basic bread recipe to do this. I never would have figured that you can just use a basic whole wheat bread recipe and turn it into fiber bars, but they have instructions for how to do just that, along with a bunch of other fun ideas, if you scroll down the page a ways. I'm not going to re post the recipe here because I followed it pretty much exactly except I had no wheat gluten or lecithin however I did use the optional egg which I believe has lecithin in the yolk? Oh, and I omitted the salt, but that's just because I was using salted peanuts. I even ground some flax seed in my blender and it actually worked! I've never dared do that before.

So Mom, you can try some when you get here, I have plenty! By themselves they are a little bland unless you bite into a raisin or something. Kind of like eating a plain piece of raisin bread. They aren't very sweet. They would be delicious with butter and honey on top. This morning I used two of them to make an egg sandwich for breakfast and it was delicious. This is a recipe I will definitely use again. I think it will grow on my kids. Oh speaking of my kids, for two of them I told them it was a bagel and spread cream cheese on it and they ate it.
