I came across this recipe on the Running Room forum – the instructions are a little disjointed in the thread, so here’s the complete version, compiled from all of the messages:
Athlete’s Cookies
1 c flour
1 c oats
1/4 c bran
1/2 c brown sugar
1/2 c raisins
1/4 c choc. Chips
2 egg whites
1/4 c margarine
1/2 c peanut butter
Mix all but the last three ingredients together, so they are uniformly mixed, then add the last three ingredients and squish everything together with both hands until you have a uniformly squished cookie mess. Bake for 12-15 minutes at 350F makes about 26 cookies.
I will admit, my hand might have slipped while I was measuring the chocolate chips and I might have ended up with some extras in there…oops…
They don’t spread much so you’ll want to consider flattening slightly with a fork; otherwise you end up more with balls than cookies.
Anyway…full of all sorts of chocolately-raisiny-peanut buttery goodness, I love these cookies as a post-run food. Not too sweet, yet more of a treat than toast with peanut butter! I highly recommend them.
