what else can i eat while doing my longer rides, other than energy bars?

[MisterStan]

Or alternatively just buy something tasty and digestible that has lots of calories ....
Not everything has to be sweet either, Pepperami, jerky, burger and coke, McNuggets all work too if that's what you fancy and can stomach whilst riding.
No offence to Mr Stan, but people get very prissy about fuelling for and during a ride. Pleasure digestability and calories count in large amounts ... your body won't give a toss about organic or Goji berries.

I make these because they taste good, oats are a great complex carbohydrate and I use more honey and less sugar to save my teeth. I don't care about the organic debate. It's more a thrift thing for me - means I can spend more money on cakes at the pit stop and beer afterwards.

That honey flapjack recipe is pretty good.
I usually double the amounts in the recipe and replace 100g of the oats with raw sesame seeds. And also make them about 1.5-2cm deep, so they don't dry out too much in the oven. I cook them at 180degC in the bottom of the oven until they are pale brown and still a bit squidgy.
Sometimes melt a bar or 2 of chocolate over the top once cooled.

Instead of the chocolate bars, I sometimes add chocolate sprinkles (hundreds and thousands)

And that's fine too (please feel free to send me some, they sound delish), I just wanted to make the point thate there'soodles of easy choices out there too. The only thing complex about bicycle fuel should be the carbs!

Okay, I need to stop eating flapjack now! Ugh... glad I only used half of the ingredients

Am about to pile into a Tiramasu and a double espresso ....
