How to cook Fitness bars

Step 1

Fitness bars

Prepare the ingredients so that everything is at hand. Soak prunes in boiling water for 5 minutes. Prepare a blender with a sharp blade. Peel a banana and divide into two equal parts; cut each part into pieces. Grind Nesquik in a blender into small crumbs.

Step 2

Remove the prunes from the water, squeeze, chop in a blender. Add 1/2 banana to it and beat until smooth in puree.

Step 3

Pour in the oatmeal. Whisk until everything is well mixed.

At this point, you can remove the blade from the blender if possible. Add chopped Nesquik, mix with a spoon. The mixture will crumble. To easily insert the blender blade back, the mass can be transferred to a cup. Add the rest of the banana to the mixture and beat everything well.

Step 5

The mass turns out to be very dense, non-viscous, but it is easy to form something out of it. Here you can turn on the oven at 150°C. Put the whole mass on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 6

Form a layer with a thickness of 0.5-1 cm. First, it is better to do this with hands moistened with cold water, then you can help with a spatula to level it. For a perfect rectangular layer, use a knife.

Step 7

In advance, mark the layer on the bars, as you wish. Dry in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, then turn off the oven, open it slightly and leave the baking sheet inside for another 5 minutes. Remove and cut immediately.

Fitness bars - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use dates, figs, or raisins as alternatives to prunes. Just ensure they're softened in hot water before blending.
Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
Absolutely! Replace the Nesquik with a vegan chocolate powder and ensure all other ingredients are plant-based. The recipe is already egg-free and dairy-free (assuming Nesquik is swapped).
A food processor works well. If you don’t have one, finely chop the prunes and mash the banana by hand, then mix thoroughly with oats and Nesquik.
Yes! Add 1-2 scoops of your favorite protein powder when mixing in the oats. You may need a splash of water or plant-based milk to adjust consistency.
Lightly grease the parchment paper with coconut oil or cooking spray before pressing the mixture onto it.
Yes, simply chill the shaped bars in the fridge for 2-3 hours until firm. Note that the texture will be denser and chewier.
The recipe is naturally nut-free as written. Just double-check that your oats and other ingredients are processed in a nut-free facility if cross-contamination is a concern.
Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wipe it clean between cuts. For neat portions, score the bars lightly before baking.
Yes, but the texture may be softer. For more structure, stick to rolled oats or reduce the blending time for the quick oats.
