If you like cookies like I do, you'll love another cookie recipe and this one is a great energy bar. This one has bran flakes, coconut, walnuts and apricots. The ingredients will provide some good nutrition as well as as having a yummy flavor.

This cookie recipe contains lots of healthy ingredients, but also included are honey and light brown sugar. Very little flour is used because the bran flakes replaces most of it, which is healthier for you. It is named "High Energy Bars" and if you want energy, these will give you that.
