Vegan Muesli Cookies

CC · March 30, 2020 ·

Vegan Muesli Biscuits

These vegan muesli cookies are another ‘store cupboard’ recipe, using whatever dried fruit, nuts and seeds you happen to have squirrelled away.

They’re on the soft-bake side, with crispy edges and a chewy centre.

This is about the maximum quantity of dried fruit and nuts you can add to a biscuit before it starts to fall apart during baking and end up looking more like a tray of granola.

Vegan Muesli Cookies

I’ve used cranberries, apricots, sultanas, walnuts, brazil nuts, hazelnuts and a few pumpkin seeds in the pictured cookies, which makes them colourful and makes every bite a bit different.

There are lots of recipes out there for muesli cookies, from the sugar free to those absolutely loaded with sugar. These are somewhere in the middle – you could certainly decrease the added sugar a bit without losing the texture.

This recipe will make 18 to 20 medium-sized cookies that will store well in a tin.

Vegan Fruit and Nut Cookies

vegan muesli cookies…

ingredients

  • 160 g white/unbleached self-raising flour
  • 100 g rolled oats
  • 100 g mixed dried fruit (eg, cranberries, sultanas, chopped apricot)
  • 100 g mixed nuts/seeds (eg, walnuts, brazils, hazelnuts, pumpkin seeds)
  • 120 g light muscovado or other brown sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • an extra 20 g dried apricots (3 or 4 apricots)
  • 120 g coconut oil (ordinary or flavourless)
  • 55 g golden syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla

method

  1. Set the oven to 180°C/360°F and line or very lightly oil enough baking sheets for twenty 6 to 7 cm cookies.
  2. Place the 20g dried apricots in a cup and add 2 tbsp (30 ml) boiling water. Set aside for a few minutes.
  3. Roughly chop the nuts (and fruit if using larger dried fruit) and mix these with the flour, oats, sugar and cinnamon in a large bowl.
  4. Warm the coconut oil and syrup in the microwave until the oil has softened, then blitz these together in a blender with the vanilla, and apricots in their soaking water.
  5. Add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring as you go, to form a sticky cookie dough.
  6. Roll the mixture into balls (up to twenty) and place these on a tray. They will spread a bit but not greatly. Flatten the tops a bit with the back of a spoon, but take care not to create major cracks or they will be misshapen when baked.
  7. Bake for around fifteen minutes until they are a rich golden brown.
  8. Allow to cool before removing from the tray.
