Chefs - help a honkey out (homemade protein bars...)

[KillahBee]

What can I replace the honey with in the following recipe? I DETEST honey - it makes me come close to projectile vomiting. I think it was all the mushroom tea and honey I drank in college. Everything else is fine - I just need something to keep it all together like the honey. I can do about half the suggested amount of honey without killing myself, but that much doesn't keep it together as well. gracias.

16oz ANPB
8 tbsp honey
6 scoops whey
1 cup oatmeal

it's simple:

mix the PB and honey into a bowl, then microwave for 80 seconds. add the rest and mix together. I added nuts, can add raisins or whatever. smooth into a 13x9 tray and elave for 20 mins. cut into bars, wrap em, and store in the fridge. done and done.

I used half the amount of honey and they just didn't stay together. I've made these for years now and they always taste great. but keeping them together is always the issue. I used vanilla whey, but you can use whatever flavor your little heart desires

maple syrup
brown rice syrup
cane sugar syrup

OR maybe a preserve or jam (you can always go sugar-free). Strawberry?

I wonder if pureed fruit, like banana, would do it as well.

since nutritionally honey is almost a perfect invert sugar... you can just add either pure glucose or pure 'heavy' corn syrup, all three are the same animal, the only difference is they wont taste like honey... even the measure is the same..


is that what you were in need of bro?

glycerol might work?

what's an invert sugar?

these look like about 60% fat, 25% carb, 15% protein, is that what you're looking for KB? Does it make about 6 bars? Seems like that would make sense, 1 bar per scoop of whey.

heart in the right place, but no....
