Define high.

By definition, an energy bar is going to have a good number of calories, because calories are what give you energy. I try to get 100-200 calories of mostly carbs before I exercise, and I made this bar to do that when I'm in a rush. I made them without almonds, sweetened with Splenda and sugar-free syrup (instead of agave nectar), and cut it into 12 instead of 16, and I ended up with 137 calories a bar. I don't think it has enough calories to be considered an energy bar, but it will get me through a workout. I also like that it contains whole grains, which have a low GI (release energy more slowly), and dried fruit, which will give me more immediate energy.

 

Just search "energy bars" in the recipes section of CC!  There are about 4 pages of results, I think I am going  to go browse there now!!

I keep meaning to try this recipe. You can add whatever dried fruit/ nuts you want!
