I learned about this hearty snack at Backpacking class (I know, that is pretty much one of the most far-out classes offered at my school!). It worked really well for me when I was on a three-day backpacking trip, as well as now, whenever the hungries strike! This is a poor man's Power Bar, if you will.What you need:
1 tortilla
Peanut Butter
Honey
Uncooked oatmeal
Smear peanut butter on the tortilla. Add honey. Sprinkle with a liberal amount of uncooked oatmeal. Roll up and enjoy!
You could probably add raisins, coconut, nuts, or whatever tickles your fancy. Personally, I find the original combination so good, I actually haven't experimented yet. Best of all, this is the only snack I can think of that actually satiates my appetite and doesn't leave me rummaging through the pantry again in ten minutes! Works for me!
P.S. For a really good homemade whole wheat tortilla recipe, look here. I substitute canola oil for the olive oil, because olive oil is too pungent for tortillas, in my humble opinion. :-) And I've found that cooking on an electric griddle works the best.

This sounds great! I think my children would love it! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSounds great. We do PB&J on tortillas as a picnic lunch for a while now. I will try it with the oatmeal too.
ReplyDeleteYum! My kids would love this. I love making the whole wheat tortillas, too. :D
ReplyDeleteI'll have to make those for my boys. They love any kind of "roll-up". Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI do the tortilla and honey but I never have added oatmeal. I'll have to try that.
