When there is no café stop...

[UphillSlowly]

... I prefer to bake or make something to take with me, like the homemade flapjacks pictured below. I rode mostly alone, so don't often stop and eat on the go.

Any recipes or ideas for any other alternatives to bananas for longer rides?
(or a link to an old thread)

Yes, to home-made flapjacks.

I also carry dates with me .. deglet nour usually but medjoul are even better if you can find them.

.. and choc-chip cookies and small cubes of vanilla fudge...

Malt loaf.

It can vary wildly in price, and those little 'snack packs' are attrocius value for money. (I don't have an oven so don't bake)

Peanut butter and marmite sandwiches; Pork pies; Sausage rolls; Maltloaf (with blue cheese!!) All kinds of ceral bars and stuff like that. Plus a packet or two of salted peanuts.

What about savoury options? My "buy in" go to, used to be pork pies in the winter/cooler weather

Peanut butter and marmite!? Big fan of pork pies :-)

I find the grease stains difficult to get out of my jersey pockets...

You can even buy it ready-mixed. I prefer to blend my own.

Never thought of trying to bake my own malt loaf...

I don't really bother with eating on the bike if I'm riding sub three hours. Occasionally I'll take a gel, just in case but rarely would I expect to need it. The only time I'd eat is on a social ride with mates when one of the aims of the ride is to stop at a coffee shop. If you've had breakfast and our lunch, you should be able to do 2 or 3 hours just using fluids.

Will need plenty of drink to wash that down! Mouth feels dry just thinking about it 😃

You don't have to buy pork pies. The one in my avatar is one I made myself. It's a bit of a fiddle though, so I only make them for Christmas.

My cooking/baking skills don't stretch to that sort of pastry! 😀 I have tried cinnamon rolls and pizza rolls but always open to more experiences. Try everything once (except Morris Dancing and incest)
