I thought the same, and as for energy gel every 20 mins, wow. I wont even have gel in the shower. Each to his own.

I used to take a pork pie and have a nibble every now and then, since I decided to eat more healthily I take a couple of ham and tomato sandwiches.

Pre-heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas mark 6
500g jumbo porridge oats
250g butter
250g light brown sugar
4-6 tablespoons of golden syrup
Pinch of salt

That's the basic recipe. I usually add:
50g salted cashews
50g sultanas

Quality, large oats are essential. I use Kavannah's from Aldi. In large bowl mix oats, sugar and salt plus sultanas and cashews if using. Melt together butter and golden syrup. Add to dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.

Butter a 20 x 20cm tin and line with baking paper. Firmly press mix into tin using back of spoon. Bake for 10 - 15 minutes. Edges may cook first in which case cover with foil and continue baking till centre is golden brown.

4 TBSP is dry. 6 TBSP will be gooey. I generally use 5. When cool divide into portions, freeze. Pre-ride take from freezer, wrap in foil, shove in pocket. 🤣🤣

It always seems better for being frozen. Weird.

Thanks, will work on this.
