Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 140 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 150 grams Rolled oats (muesli base)
- 50 grams Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
- 70 grams Dried fruits (e.g., raisins, cranberries, or chopped apricots)
- 50 grams Optional: Dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Mix in the honey (or maple syrup), egg, and vanilla extract until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the rolled oats, chopped nuts, dried fruits, and optional chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, form small balls of dough (about 1.5 tablespoons each) and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand or the back of a spoon.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers will still be slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the muesli cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
