USA Swimming Recipe Homemade Power Bites


I am always looking for healthier alternatives to boxed snacks. I found this one on the USA Swimming website.

Homemade Power Bites
  • 24 dried figs
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 4 tbsp. orange juice
  • 2 tbsp. lemon juice
  • 1 tsp. lemon juice
  • 2 1/2 cups unbleached flour
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tbsp. canola oil
  • 1/4 cup dark corn syrup
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 cup oat bran


DIRECTIONS
Add figs, honey, orange juice, and 2 tbsp. lemon juice to food processor and mix on "chop" setting until fig bits are finely cut. Set aside.

Put all other ingredients (except oat bran) in mixing bowl. Beat with electric mixer for 3-4 minutes at medium speed. Add fig mixture and beat until everything blends- the texture is something like play dough. Make 20-24 mini bars (about golf ball size) and coat with oat bran poured on a plate.

Place bars on pan and bake at 350° for 10 minutes, or until they are warm and a bit puffy. Place in refrigerator to harden. For a crunchier texture, bake 2-5 minutes longer, or until dough is thoroughly cooked. Makes 24 small bars.
