Like many endurance sport focused athletes, I have tried pre packaged sports bars, "healthy muesli bars", gels and drinks. While I feel many of these have value and can be useful they tend to be to dry and too sweet. At times they are probably not necessary for training days.
Inspired by Skratch labs I started looking through cooking books for recipe's I could modify to suit.
One such recipe I modified is a choc chip cookie from Nigella Lawson.
Here is my modified recipe:
150g soft butter, 100g of sugar (I have used whatever is in the pantry, all seem to work.) 2 teaspoons vanilla extraxt, 1egg fridge cold, 1 egg yolk fridge cold, 100g pulverised nuts, 100g rice flour, 100g wholemeal plain flour, 1/2 teaspoon bicarb, choc chips, ginger and cinnamon and salt.
Oven to 170c. Melt butter and let coo. Then put butter in with sugar in a bowel and then beat together. Then beat in to butter/sugar the vanilla the eggs, add ginger, cinnamon and salt to season to taste.
Slowly mix the nuts, flours and bicarb until just blended then add choc chips.
make into shapes you want to use. They do grow in the oven so you may have to experiment with size. I usually have to do two batches.
Cook for 15/17min then let cool.
