Crunchy and crispy muesli cookies are such a delightful healthy option for sweet biscuits. They’re packed with all nutritious dried fruits and nuts with the right amount of sweetness that won’t make you feel guilty about having them.
Servings: 20 cookies
Equipment
- Mixing bowls.
- Wooden spoon or
- Spatula
- Baking trays
Ingredients
- ½ cup salted butter.
- 2 tablespoons demerara sugar.
- 2 tablespoons clear honey.
- 1 cup plain flour/ all-purpose flour.
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder.
- 1 cup lb porridge oats.
- ⅓ cup lb raisins.
- ⅓ cup dried figs.
- ⅓ cup walnut halves.
- ⅓ cup dried cranberries.
- 1-2 teaspoons milk optional
Instructions
- Chop all the dried fruits and walnut halves into small pieces.
- Preheat the oven at the gas mark 3/ 160°C/ 320°F.
- Prepare 2 large baking trays. You can either grease them or line them with greaseproof baking paper.
- Place the butter, sugar and honey in a saucepan. Cook at low heat until all is melted. Stir gently to mix and combine. Set aside.
- Sieve the flour into a mixing bowl and add the porridge oats. Give it a stir.
- Then stir in the chopped raisins, figs, cranberries and walnuts.
- Make a well in the centre and pour in the butter mixture as you carefully stir it using a wooden spoon or a spatula.
- Mix well until it becomes a dough. But make sure you don’t knead it. If the dough feels too dry and hard, you can add one teaspoon or two of milk.
- Divide the dough into 20-24 pieces. Roll them into small balls and flatten them to approximately 0.5 cm/ 0.19 inch in thickness. Place the flattened cookie dough on the prepared tray.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes. Leave to cool on the baking trays.
Notes
- You can choose any type of dried fruits you like. Sultanas, apricots, dried berries, dried pineapples, figs, and dried cranberries are some of the delicious healthy options.
- Likewise, try and use different nuts that you love. Some of my favourites are walnuts, brazil nuts, almond and roasted cashew nuts.
- If you use unsalted butter, add ⅛ teaspoon of salt to the flour.
- When you make these cookies in cold weather/ temperature, the dough tends to get drier and harder. So feel free to add 1-2 teaspoons of milk. Add a teaspoon at a time to prevent adding it too much.
