Muesli Snacking Cookies

Photo credit: © Eatwell101.comPerfect for breakfast or a healthy grab and go snack, these cookies have loads of flavor and texture thanks to the mix of cereal and fruit already in the muesli. They look more like small granola bars but the addition of what flour give them a fuller body and plenty of fiber. Feel free to replace the golden syrup with honey or maple syrup.

Ingredient list for the Muesli Cookies

Cook Time: 15-20 minutes depending on size of cookies
Yield: About 20 cookies

• 2/3 pound (300g) muesli with 50% fruit
