soft baked bircher muesli cookies
These cookies are made from simple ingredients, take little effort to make and are a quick and tasty snack. The're inspired by the famous swiss-breakfast, soft and chewy, vegan, oilfree and glutenfree.
Ingredients
- 120 g muesli mix (I used a bircher muesli mix)
- 110 g oat flour
- 120 g apple sauce *
- 1 Cup boiling water
- 1 Tsp baking powder
- 1/2 Tsp baking soda
- 1 Tbsp lemon juce
- 1 medium apple, grated (mine was around 150g after grating)
- 50 g coconut sugar **
- 50 g walnuts chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200C.
- In a large bowl pour boiling water over the muesli mix, add the lemon juice and let everything soak for 10 minutes. This will make the oats easier to digest.
- Meanwhile mix oatflour, baking soda, baking powder and coconut sugar in another smaller bowl.
- When the muesli absorbed all the water, add the apple sauce and dry-ingredient mix and stir together until well combined. Add grated apple and walnuts and mix again.
- Place a tablespoon once by once onto a lined baking paper and form a round cookie shape out of the batter-dollops. The dough will be sticky, so you might want to work with wet hands or dunk the spoon into water.
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until golden. Let cool completely. Enjoy the cookies on their own, alongside a cup of tea, coffe or hot chocolate or to make it even more bircher-like: with yoghurt!
Notes
**if you prefer crunchier cookies, swap the apple sauce for almond butter or another nutbutter!
*use date- or brown sugar instead
