fitnessgyro: fitness—health—nutrition: This recipe was inspired by fitnessgyro’s Mom’s recipe found HERE: My Homemade No-Bake Energy Bars: 2-2.5 cup Old Fashioned Oats  2 tbsp Honey, melted (more or less, depends on your taste) 1 tbsp Flaxseed 20 natural almonds (or nut of choice), chopped 1tbsp chia seeds 2/3 dark chocolate bar (I used 70%), melted 1/2 cup peanut butter, melted 1/2 cup cranberries & golden raisins (or any dried fruit you want) Directions: Measure and mix flaxseed and chia seeds separately and put aside in a small bowl. Start with two cups of oats and toss in a large bowl. Melt honey and peanut butter together on medium in a sauce pan. (note: natural PB will harden in the microwave, I found this out the hard way). Once melted gradually pour the mixture while mixing oats to it coats them all, just keep mixing. If it’s to “wet” add 1/2 cup more oats. Once it’s all incorporated, toss in your dried fruit and mix. Next, slowly pour the chia and flaxseeds in mixing constantly. Spoon the whole mixture into a glass/ceramic baking dish. I used an 8x8 glass dish, but use whatever dish you have (I personally like my bars thicker). Press the mixture firmly into the pan until the whole pan is covered and firmly packed (use the bottom of a metal or hard wooden spoon). Then, take your chopped nuts and sprinkle around the dish and take spoon and press them (again with the bottom of the spoon) into the mixture so it’s all firm. You can elect to skip the chocolate. But if you are using chocolate, melt on medium and then spatula and spread chocolate lightly and evenly across whole mixture. Cover and stick in the fridge to solidify and in a few hours cut them and wrap them into portions or leave them in the pan covered in the fridge. Any Questions? Enjoy!

5 Minute CRISPY Sweet Potato Chips

I was pretty shocked when I discovered this recipe. It’s UHMAZING.

Total Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • Sweet potato
  • Salt (or any other seasoning)
  • Olive oil spray can

Instructions:

  1. Use a mandolin and slice up your sweet potato (try to find one that has an even girth throughout the entire length of the potato so you have evenly sized chips)
  2. Cut parchment paper the size of your glass plate inside the microwave
  3. Lay the chips in a single layer on the parchment paper
  4. Lightly spray with non-stick spray and salt them
  5. Microwave on 100% power for 2 minutes 30 seconds (Please note: This measurement was for MY microwave, so please be aware of your own) You will know they are done when they start to lightly brown, but do not wait till they entirely brown — that would mean it burnt)
  6. Let the chips cool, and they will turn crispy :)

PROOF OF CRISPY-NESS (didn’t edit the video hehe)
