I saw this recipe recently. I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but it seems reasonable. I'll add a pinch of "salt substitute," for potassium and substitute glucose and sucrose for the fructose. Also some lemon juice to make it more palatable.

DIY powder for fueling runs and this year’s #ultras. Gist is 100 calories is 14g maltodextrin, 7g fructose, 3g MCT, 0.1g salt mixed with liquid of choice.
