Chocolate Muesli Cookies

I bought some “Luxurious Chocolate Muesli” from the supermarket for breakfast and there is so much of it!  That I thought it would make a great base for a cookie.  It already has rolled oats, toasted malt wheat flakes, milk chocolate curls, raisins, sultanas, nibbed hazelnuts and flaked almonds.

So it was just a matter of combining these yummy ingredients with some even yummier cookie ingredients and forming these cookies, that turned out really awesome!  Even though I say so myself!!  So crispy, crunchy yet a chewy cookie.  I added less sugar than in a normal cookie recipe as the raisins and sultanas provide a natural sweetness.

The toasted malt wheat flakes and nuts really add to the texture of this cookie.  Ideal anytime of the day but also can be eaten as a breakfast muesli cookie!  I really you hope you all enjoy them as much as we do. One even made it’s way into Cookie Monster’s mouth courtesy of my little one! 🙂

Have a stunning day, much love D x

INGREDIENTS

220g self raising flour
200g chocolate muesli mix
130g granulated sugar
1 heaped tbsp cocoa powder
1 tbsp maple syrup
180g butter melted
2 tbsp sunflower oil
1 tbsp hot water
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda

METHOD

• Preheat the oven to 180°c, grease and line 2 baking trays

• In a large mixing bowl or food processor combine all the dry ingredients apart from the bicarbonate of soda.  Mix in the oil

• Heat up the butter and syrup on a low heat.  Once melted add the water then the bicarbonate of soda.  Stir, it will start to bubble and fizz a little

• Pour this hot butter mixture into the biscuit crumbs.  All the ingredients will come together

• Take a little mixture and gently form into a ball,  pat down with your palm making the ball into a disk of 3-4 cm

• Place a few on a tray.  Keep them apart from each other as the cookies will spread when baked

• Bake for 12-15 minutes.  Leave the cookies in the tray to cool down as they will be soft initially.  Once they start to cool they will become crunchy.  Transfer to a cooling rack
