My role as a Performance Nutritionist requires early mornings and a lot of travelling. I use these as a ‘kick start’ to the day along with a yoghurt and a piece of fruit. Really easy to make and ideal to wrap up and take with you. You can also use them as a carbohydrate snack pre-training. No refrigeration required. These cookies/ breakfast biscuits are simple to make and at a cost per serving of 26p make it a great alternative to shop bought energy bars that often contain added sugar or maltodextrin. Simply combine the ingredients, mix and bake. After they have cooled down, wrap them up individually. They will last around 2 weeks. Try adding flax or chia seeds for extra health benefits. Balance the texture by adding extra honey.
