Muesli biscuits (muesli cookies)
Muesli biscuits, or muesli cookies, are crunchy biscuits containing oats, honey, nuts, seeds and dried fruit and are packed with flavour and texture.
Ingredients
- 170 grams butter
- 130 grams Demerara sugar
- 1½ dessertspoons honey
- 170 grams plain flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 170 grams oats
- 50 grams raisins
- 25 grams chopped almonds
- 20 grams pumpkin seeds
- 2 teaspoons mixed spice
Instructions
- Melt - place the butter, sugar and honey is a saucepan and heat gently, stirring regularly, until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved.
- Mix - sift the flour into the bowl. Add the baking powder, oats, raisins, chopped nuts, seeds and mixed spice and mix.
- Combine - add the melted butter/sugar mixture to the bowl of dry ingredients and mix well to form a dough.
- Shape - place a non-stick baking parchment on a baking tray. Take small pieces of the dough and flatten on a lined baking sheet to form biscuit shapes. Leave a space between each biscuit to allow room for them to expand while in the oven. Leave the dough to cool before baking.
- Bake - bake in the centre of the oven at 180oC, 350oF, gas mark 4 until the biscuits start to turn golden at the edges (around 10 to 15 minutes).
- Cool - leave on the tray for around 5 minutes to harden then transfer to a wire cooling rack.
