These are made with glutinous rice flour and speckled with beans — in my opinion, a perfect power combo for long trail (or other activity) adventures! The flax seed and brown rice flour add some fiber for sustainable energy, but you can replace the brown rice flour with more glutinous rice flour and eliminate the…
Homemade granola is the perfect pre- post- or intra- workout snack. Packed with powerful carbs, it’s a recipe for greatness! Though to be honest, I like it better with yogurt post-workout than straight up. Feel free to add or remove maple syrup as you’d like for sweetness. This version isn’t very sweet, as a heads…
This is my favorite brownie recipe ever! (And that’s not just because these are the beautiful texture and color of muddy trails.)

Total time (including cooling): 30 min. Makes enough for one 8×8″ 4-layer cake. Materials: 1 measuring cup; 1 stove pot;…
