Monster Cookies

Jump to Recipe

Packed with ingredients and energy - these oat, coconut, peanut, M&M, raisin monster cookies really are the everything-but-the-kitchen-sink energy snack.

My other half is a very keen mountain biker. When his training rides last longer than 90 minutes, he takes along a drink or a snack to keep his sugar levels up and this weekend he is doing the Giants Castle Challenge (a 75 km mountain bike race) with a friend. In the run-up to this event they’ve been taking their training & nutrition very seriously and based on both cost and taste preference we I’ve been experimenting with different energy bars & cookies for them to use as on-the-go snacks. These monster cookies have been a winner – they pack both a calorie and a taste punch. Named monster cookies as they have just about everything-but-the-kitchen sink thrown in there.
