1. Paleo Protein Energy Bars

Paleo Protein Energy Bar with Calendula is a practical addition to this collection, with a straightforward method and adaptable serving options.

Recipe details: Prep: PT15M · Cook: PT20M · Total: PT35M · Yield: 12

These Paleo Protein energy bars with Calendula are a great source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats, so they will keep you happy and satisfied whether you have them for breakfast or as a snack.

Ingredients

• 1 cup dates
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 cup roasted unsalted almonds
• 1 1/2 cup oats
• 1 cup dried calendula
• 1 cup cranberries
• 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Instructions

1. If you have soft dates than you can skip this step. It they are harder in texture, soak them in hot water until they’re completely submerged as then it’s easier to blend them. Soak for 15-30 minutes or until the dates are soft.
2. Blend the dates in the food processor and mix them with maple syrup till the mixture is consistent.
3. place the mixture into a bowl and add all the remaining dry ingredients – almonds, oats, calendula, cranberries, sunflower and sesame seeds.
4. mix them well and place them on a baking pan preferably with straight edges to achieve bars with desired sharp corners.
5. The most important step in the whole process is to pack down the oat mixture in the pan. Once you place all the mixture on the baking pan, you need to press it really hard in order to make it firm. I used the square bowl which I pressed really hard to create a firm substance.
6. Before putting the mixture in the oven, cut the substance into bars while it’s soft. It’s harder to do it after removing from the oven as the mixture is harder, pretty consolidated and easy to break.
7. Bake the bars in the oven for 20 minutes.

• 6 eggs
• 1 lb. ripe tomatoes (canned or fresh or 500 gm.)
• 1 pepper (green or red finely chopped)
• 2-3 green chillies (finely chopped optional)
• 1 onion (chopped)
• 10 mushroom (finely sliced optional)
• 2-3 cloves garlic (finely minced)
• ½ tsp. turmeric powder
• 1 tbsp. black pepper (freshly ground )
• 1 tsp. cumin powder
• 1 tsp. paprika
• 2 tbsp. Olive oil
• salt to taste
• Chopped cilantro (for garnishing)

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large deep pan/skillet. Add in the onion, garlic, pepper and mushroom. Let it cook down for about 5-6 minutes.
2. Now add in the black pepper (keep some for eggs), cumin, turmeric powder, paprika, salt and tomatoes. Cover and cook for about 7-8 minutes till you get a thick sauce.
3. Now make wells in the sauce using a spoon and break eggs into it. I break the egg in a bowl and not directly over the pan. That way the yolks stay intact.
4. Garnish the eggs with some salt and pepper. Cover and let the eggs poach in the tomato sauce on low heat for another 5-6 minutes.
5. Turn off the gas when the whites start to set and the yolks are still runny. You can make the whites set faster by spooning some hot tomato sauce on top.
6. Garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve hot with some toasted bread.
