Want To Find/create Recipe

I'm addicted to an energy bar baked fresh by a local organic grocer/bakery. I don't think they would share their recipe, but I pay $6.99 per pound. :o So I buy the smallest 'bar' and divide them into tiny pieces. Yet the ingredients don't seem that difficult to combine. I'm just not sure of the proportions. They contain: cashew butter, sesame seeds (toasted), rice bran, chopped date pieces and maple syrup. I have ALL those ingredients in my pantry. I'm thinking that the cashew butter, rice bran and maple syrup are the 'base' to which I can add other seeds, nuts and finely diced dates or other dried fruit. Maybe I can even substitute another nut butter. DOES ANYONE HAVE A RECIPE FOR ANY BAKED OR UNBAKED NUT BUTTER BAR WHICH CONTAINS SIMILAR INGREDIENTS? I sure would like to make or bake my own variety of those sesame/cashew butter energy bars to save money, if not calories. :lol:

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're after, but I had a go at making my own 'raw' (unbaked) 'Organic Food Bar' (like the ones on sale under than very name). I just bought most of the same ingredients and had a go at it! Here's what I used:

1 cup almond butter

1.5 cups flax seed meal

1/4 cup cocoa

1/2 cup agave nectar

125g (one small tub) blueberries

1/4 cup water

I then just mixed everything together really well, laid it on a foil-lined tray and stuck it in the fridge. The texture was a bit messy, but it tasted GREAT - incredibly similar to the organic food bar (although they are more chewy and these were softer).

Anyway, I suppose if you just mix the ingredients together and let them 'set' you should do alright. :)

Thanks. That was gutsy, yet gooey ... but I LIKE gooey! :P I considered just trying the ingredients in small batches until I got the right proportions for the desired texture and taste. Thanks for giving me an idea of how much nut butter, how much sweetner, how much grain (I'd use rice bran rather than flax meal) and how much of the other ingredients. Has anyone else seen a baked energy bar recipe or even an unbaked recipe for anything else similar to my nut butter, seeds, date pieces, maple syrup ingredients?

      For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes - if she eats out in restaurants this could be the culprit for cross-contamination issues:

      @Theresa2407, different labs use different reference ranges and even different units of measurement for the same tests. Because of that, you can't compare test scores from tests administered at different labs.

      It took 2 1/2 years for my levels to come down.  I don't understand your testing.  To be safe with my test I need to be <26.  When first tested my level was 272.  Maybe they are runing a different test now days.  I have a tTg IgA EMA ran yearly and it is sent to Mayo Clinic.  I have had Celiac since age 9 months and I am 76 now.  It took 50 years being sick, seizures arthritis, no Platlets, liver disease, no Vitamin D3, Anemia, Thyroid and Hashimotos, spains, boils breaking down my entire immune system. Have they ran a breathe test, SIBO test and a Fructose test?  Milk and sugar has the same effect as Celiac but doesn't damage the organs.

      In addition to cutting out oats, you may want to investigate any medications or supplements you're taking - they can sometimes contain gluten.  You can check medication ingredients online at sites like DailyMed (www.dailymed.nlm.nih.gov).
