[@amanda.outside]

Welcome to my kitchen! Which one of these recipes are you most excited to try first? Comment below! 😁

[@docautrisim885]

A tip for you. When using nuts roast them in the oven for a few minutes. Try a side by side comparison of toasted and not. Really brings out big flavors.

[@MayFraser7]

Coconut Date Energy Balls!

[@kimsmith9917]

A trick for the parchment paper. Crumple it first. It will stay in the shape you want now. I’m looking forward to trying these recipes. Thank you for sharing.

[@amanda.outside]

I will do that next time! I hope you enjoy the recipes 😁

[@CrystalandLuna]

Love the everything trail bars! I made them vegan by subbing an egg for a flax egg, used maple syrup instead of brown sugar , vegan butter and they were soooo good! Thanks for the recipe!

[@annaleedaughterofyhwh7767]

@OsaLunaCo I don’t eat eggs/meat, what is a “flax egg” please?

[@CrystalandLuna]

@@annaleedaughterofyhwh7767 1 table spoon of ground flax seed, 3tablespoons of water. Mix it up, set it in the fridge for 15minutes than add. 1 flax “egg” for every 1 regular egg

[@amanda.outside]

I haven't tried using a flax seed egg yet. If you try it, let me know how it goes! I hope you enjoy the recipes!

Energy Balls! Need to make a trip to my bulk store for the right dates now that stores are reopening this week!

[@amanda.outside]

Yay! I hope you love the recipe!

[@SerendipityMePlease]

🫣 OMG! Thank you for the maple syrup tip. I checked and sure enough there was a mold film over the syrup I stored in the cabinet. Luckily it was only about 3 tbsp left so I tossed it. I actually thought I could salvage it 😵‍💫 but no. Thanks again. 🤩

[@bobbycamarillo]

i made the everything trail bar but i added a little vanilla protein powder and some dark chocolate chips & i was not disappointed! my cousin devoured half the batch 😂👏🏽

[@tall14dude]

I can always go for a good bar on the trail. Those look really good. Going to try them for the next outing.

[@amanda.outside]

Yay! I hope you enjoy them!

I'm looking forward to making the Coconut Date Energy Balls. They look delicious! Thank you for sharing!

[@amanda.outside]

They are so good and so easy! I hope you like them!

[@jana7423]

I love the everything trail bars! I made a double batch wet ingredients and then half nuts/chocolate chips and half tropical mixed fruits, which went in the freezer so I can just crab a few before hiking. So easy, thank you Amanda!

[@amanda.outside]

You're welcome! I'm so glad you like them. I love hearing the ways that you changed them up! Adding the chocolate chips is definitely a good idea 😁

[@AfricanHiker]

I love the everything bars, I make those for hiking n cycling - and each time I make them they are different which is great, that way one doesn't get bored.

[@amanda.outside]

I love that this recipe is so easy to change! Variety is key on long hikes and camping trips!

[@t0gi]

Amazing ideas, great videos :)

[@stephaniehartmann5942]

I will be trying out the energy balls!

The Everything Trail Bars are delicious xxx

[@GamerKidEdits]

Thanks for sharing. 🍻

[@titi1317]

New subscriber here! Love all your tips, super practical and no extra frills. Definitely inspired by you! Question: How do you plan your hikes/ camping? Something we are having trouble with is covering all the trails at the sites we have been, do you complete them all in one trip or do you go back and complete it and go to another national park/ forest in between? Thanks!

[@amandaball3025]

I can’t wait to try all three. I have an energy bar I’ve been making for years so I can’t wait to try something new. What would you say the shelf life is for these?

[@benhaswell5298]

Just made a batch of the trail bars swapped the sugar for honey they turned out great

[@amanda.outside]

That's so good to know. I haven't tried them with honey, but that sounds delicious!

[@sarahgrill2446]

Great ideas, I hope to make the coconut bites soon but the trail bars might win out first!

[@amanda.outside]

Yay! They're both so good you can't go wrong. Enjoy!

I was waiting for this video🥰

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@rebeccasioma2245]

Thanknyou for sharing! I've been looking at recipes (inspired search from your camping videos) and now....tada....you did this amazing how to video. Thank you! Going to be making the bars and trail mix this week to try it out and tweak it to my family's tastes!

[@amanda.outside]

They are all so easy to customize! I hope you enjoy the recipes 😁

Amanda it would be cool to see what your gym workout looks like. I’m gonna try the trail mix cookie bars. I’ll probably make all three eventually. Thanks so much for your content. 💖

[@amanda.outside]

I hope you love the recipes! Thank you so much for watching. For my workouts, I've been doing Crossfit and I really enjoy it! We have an awesome gym here with great people and workout programing. Nick and I both love it!

Love your channel! I'm excited to try these recipes (I'll have to alter them a bit...my little boy has a peanut and tree nut allergy). Thanks for sharing! - From Logan, Utah.

[@amanda.outside]

The trail mix and trail bars are really easy to swap in different ingredients as needed. I hope you enjoy the recipes and thank you so much for watching!

[@Chriztina97]

We are a nut free home too. My daughter has a peanut allergy and I am allergic to tree nuts. I like using a hemp and chia seed blend to replace nuts in recipes for trail food.

[@HikingwithGus]

Perfect! Always looking for yummy foods to take!

[@amanda.outside]

Hope you enjoy the recipes!

[@leah492]

Hi Amanda, I made your maple cheddar trail mix this weekend and it is so good! I couldn't find the cheddar sesame sticks so I subbed in regular sesame sticks (I think they're called sesame bran sticks) and those worked just fine. I also think it would be really good to crush up some of the Rold Gold cheese pretzels and add those! (but I'm a pretzel fan and like adding pretzels to everything) thanks for sharing!!

[@hellobritt2484]

The bars look amazing! I want to make them for our trip this weekend.

[@amanda.outside]

I hope you love them as much as I do! They are definitely one of my favorites!

[@yrrndbeachbum]

@@amanda.outside I ended up making the trail mix over the weekend and subbed dried kiwi in lieu of the dried papaya because I couldn’t find it and omg... SO good!! I love this mix! Thanks again :)

[@TK-qu1ht]

Trail bars question: do you ever seal then individually in Mylar bags? TIA

[@grilldschigit]

Hi. Mega yummy🥞🔥🔥🔥😋👍.. Greetings from Germany.🤝

[@nadrosa]

Heck yeah!

[@onyxpup7]

I’ll try the trail bars first. I’m not a huge fan of tropical flavors so I’ll have to tweak the other recipies with other fruits.

[@richz100]

We will be hiking a 500 mile hike and shipping ourselves food resupply boxes. If we pre make any of these receipts should I be concerned with shelf life or special packaging?

[@nisha.57575]

Did anyone make the energy balls? How did it come out?

[@arthas640]

5:30 I like to use mild molasses instead, or a 50/50 brown sugar:molasses blend since mild molasses has a ton of nutrients it. 1 Tbsp has around 5-6% of your potassium, magnesium, and is high in other things like iron making it great to replenish electrolytes and because it a mixture of sugars besides just sucrose like table sugar, it gives you longer burning energy and it has a lower Glycemic Load compared to an equal calorie amount of sugar or brown sugar

[@markie3394]

Can’t wait to try these all! They will be a much needed change from my go to peanut and peanut butter recipes. Can the bars and balls be frozen?

[@amanda.outside]

I haven't tried freezing them so I don't know for certain. I think the trail bars could be frozen, but I'm not so sure about the energy balls. Let me know if you give it a try!

[@markie3394]

@@amanda.outside sure will! Just made all 3 recipes. Will freeze some for a week and let you know.

[@markie3394]

@@amanda.outside freezer worthy! Wrapped both everything bars and energy balls in freezer paper and placed inside a freezer bag. Tossed one in pack (I’m a hiker) and it thawed by the time I was ready for a snack. Taste like the day I made them. Of course it’s only been a few days but would think they would be best used within 1-2 months. After that the fresh taste might diminish. Everything bar is my favorite. Put in microwave for 10-15 seconds to thaw for breakfast. Great recipes!

[@amanda.outside]

@@markie3394 Yay! I am so glad they worked from the freezer. I think that's a great way to store them. Thanks for the update!

[@Zapporah85]

Keeping maple syrup in the fridge is an afront to humanity. My grandma does that, and I hate it. It's so much harder to get out of the container. Great recipes!

[@denis65366]

Do you put the Bars in an air tight container? I look forward to trying these

[@amanda.outside]

Yes I just store them in an airtight container at room temp. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

[@jenniferlzr5651]

The balls don't fall apart if not kept in the fridge?

[@leed3796]

I want to try them all but I think the trail mix will be first. (I need to get a food processor.)

[@amanda.outside]

You can't go wrong with the trail mix! 😁

[@rickg7235]

Have you made any snacks with dark chocolate in it😋

[@amanda.outside]

I think you could add dark chocolate chips to the trail bars and that would be delicious!

[@PineappleChocker]

How long do the bars and energy balls last? Do they need to keep refrigerated? Thanks!

[@amanda.outside]

I keep the energy balls in the fridge when I'm at home, but they should be fine at room temp as well and should last about 5-7 days. I keep the trail bars at room temp in an airtight container and they should also last about 5-7 days. Mine are usually gone within a few days though! 😊

[@PineappleChocker]

@@amanda.outside thanks for the info! I am planning some hikes soon but wanted to be sure these will last if I premade them :)

[@amanda.outside]

I forgot to mention that you can store the trail bars in the freezer too. I hope you enjoy!

[@Chriztina97]

How long do the Everything Trail Bars last? My concern is the egg spoiling. Do you freeze them and defrost while on the trail? A second question about the bars: I have a silicone mold to make individual bars. Would this recipe work in a pan like this?

[@amanda.outside]

I'm not sure how the silicone mold would work. I think you would need to adjust the bake time. My guess is that they would cook faster. For storage, I treat the bars like I would a cookie. I try to eat them within a few days of baking, but the bars can also be frozen.

[@allonsy9808]

Oh...I'm trying those bars first. YUM! If you were to add semi-sweet chocolate chips, would you reduce the amount of nuts and add chocolate chips to make up the "rounded cup?" (Asking for a friend...ahem.)

Seemslike it would be easier to press the bars into the pan…then chill.

[@jongrall]

Everything trail bars all the way! Who knew that you would start a cooking channel!?!? LOL Btw Amanda, overall your videos have excellent production value, but the dialogue on this one was a little rough. If you plan on doing more indoor content like this, a lavalier mic attached to your shirt or a shotgun mic boomed overhead would improve the sound quality significantly. As it is currently, even with the sound treatment you installed, you're just too far away from the microphone and it's picking up a lot of echo from the hard surfaces in your kitchen. Friendly tip, feel free to disregard if there's just no budget for that kind of thing. I still immensely enjoy your videos.

[@amanda.outside]

Yea I almost didn't upload it because of the audio. I usually would use a lavalier mic attached to my shirt but I decided to use a new on camera mic for this video thinking that it would be fine, in addition to blankets and pillows all over the floor, but it just wasn't enough unfortunately. It's super frustrating, but I've learned and will do a better job next time! Thank you for still watching 😁

[@jongrall]

@@amanda.outside Glad you still decided to upload! KZbin seems like a lot of work. Hats off to you.
