These are very, very similar to the survival bars but they don't have as long of a shelf life because of the additional goodies included, and they are baked instead of steamed. They turn out more like cookies, but are not too sweet and are very filling and yummy. (I'm thinking these are the perfect post-baby food to have on hand: nutritious, filling, and one-handed!)
Nutritive Bars
Ingredients:
3 cups oats
2 1/2 cups powdered milk
1 cup brown sugar (not packed)
3 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp plain gelatin (2 packets)
2 Tbsp warm water
1/2 cup liquid milk, warmed
Mix all ingredients by hand in a bowl, one at a time, softly.
Add mix ins like raisins, nuts, chocolate chips, peanuts, almonds, etc. (In class we had coconut, chocolate chips, raisins, and walnuts!)
Form into cookies, and place on a foil-lined pan. Bake at 350 for 30-45 minutes.
If you want to store these as emergency food, let cool 12 hours and wrap individually in tin foil. Store in a cardboard box for 6 months. 1 bar can sustain a person 3 days.
