By Rittwik Naskar

Homemade Energy Bars are more sustainable and making them is fun too. Here's how.

1 cup puffed rice 1 cup instant oats 1 cup chopped Medjool dates 3 cups roughly chopped mixed nuts ¼ tsp cinnamon powder ¼ tsp cardamom powder 1 cup jaggery ¾ cup water 1⁄4 cup ghee

Ingredients

Add the puffed rice, oats, dates, and chopped nuts to a mixing bowl. Mix them well.

Step 1

In a saucepan bring the water and the jaggery up to a simmer. Add in the cinnamon and cardamom powder.

Step 2

Once the spices and jaggery are fully dissolved, add in the ghee and let it cook for a minute.

Step 3

Add the dry ingredients and fold them in. Once everything in the pan is covered evenly, bring them off the heat.

Step 4

Spread them out evenly on a wide enough baking sheet lined with parchment paper and cut them into blocks while they're warm and just starting to set.

Step 5

Let them cool in the sheet tray and separate them individually thereafter. Enjoy!
