Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the walnuts, raisins, dried mango, dried papaya, and whole wheat flour. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
-
Prepare Wet Mixture: In another bowl, whisk together the canola oil, vanilla extract (or coconut extract for that extra tropical flavor), salt, whole eggs, egg white, and crushed pineapple. Ensure the mixture is well combined.
-
Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring well until everything is thoroughly combined. The mixture should be moist but not overly wet.
-
Prepare Baking Pan: Lightly grease a 9×5 loaf pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
-
Bake: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool and Slice: Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Chill and Serve: Once cooled, remove the bars from the pan and wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate the bars until they are cold and firm. This helps them hold their shape when slicing.
-
Slice and Store: Using a sharp knife, cut the chilled bars into 16 even slices. These Hawaiian Energy Bars can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, making them perfect for meal prep or on-the-go snacks.
