Make your own delicious muesli cookies – a different muesli bar
It is nice to have something delicious in the lunch box or for afternoon coffee/tea.
If I want something healthy and filling, I make “Sweet breadsticks – perfect for the lunch box“.
Otherwise, I make these Muesli cookies.
Yes, I know this word can be spelled differently: muesli/müesli/granola – usually, I write MUESLI.
The cookies are sweetened primarily with fruit sugars from raisins, dates and bananas.
They contain less white sugar, 50 grams to approximately 20 cookies – 2½ grams per cookie.
That is an ok amount of sugar for a cookie…
I make the cookies small.
Because the fact that they are small makes it ok to take two – or more…
You can easily make the muesli cookies larger.

Yes, you can make these as muesli bars; it’s just more time-consuming.
First, you bake the muesli dough in a square form (buttered or with baking paper).
Then, you’ll remove it from the oven and let it cool.
When it is cold enough to cut without breaking the bars, you must bake the muesli bars again.
You only bake these cookies once.
– And the muesli cookies keep their shape in the lunchbox.
I have experimented with many cereal bars and cookies, and I like the muesli cookies or granola bars that are COMPLETELY crisp.
But I am not alone in this family – Christian likes chewy muesli cookies and granola bars the best, so this is a compromise.
Muesli cookies are crispier when they are newly baked.
And they’ll keep for a week or so – if you hide them away from your family.
Just keep them dry and airtight.
Place a piece of parchment paper between the muesli cookies and enjoy a (small) sticky cookie (or two) – a super tasty treat.
