Do-it-yourself energy bars: Together with Bitburger 0.0%, we present 25 do-it-yourself recipes. This time: date and peanut bars for the jersey pocket.

Ingredients for 10-15 pieces

  • 200 g dates
  • 100 g rolled oats
  • 70 g peanuts
  • 100 g rice syrup
  • 20 g puffed quinoa
  • 70 g peanut butter

Preparation (approx. 12 minutes)


Firstly, soak the dates in the rice syrup and then puree. Crush the oats and peanuts in a blender. Then mix all the ingredients together and leave the mixture to stand for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Shape the dough into evenly sized balls, place on a baking tray lined with baking paper and flatten (about 1 centimetre thick). Most of the time, you won't end up with bars, but rather thalers. But that's not a bad thing. Bake for twelve minutes until the bars are golden yellow.

The portioned rice cakes can also be wrapped in greaseproof paper or aluminium foil and frozen in the freezer.

This is what ecotrophologist Günter Wagner says:

"Stomach-friendly energy boost for a MTB tour with a recommended total nutrient ratio: 45 grams of carbohydrates, 10 grams of protein and 10 grams of fat. Rich in valuable B vitamins. Vitamin B1 contributes to normal energy metabolism and normal heart function, vitamin B3 (niacin) to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Vitamin H (biotin) contributes to normal psychological functions. This includes motivation to perform as well as emotions, well-being and mood. The mineral potassium contained in significant quantities in the date-peanut bar contributes to normal muscular and neurological function."
