Notes
Notes
- If you do not have whole grain flour you can use all-purpose flour with a measurement of 2 cups. Although I have not tried this recipe with all-purpose flour it will still work since the recipe is adapted from my Carrot-oatmeal cookies which uses 2 cups all-purpose flour.
- You can skip cinnamon and nutmeg if you do not like to add spices.
- Substitute maple syrup if sugar is your preference. 1/2 cup to 3/4 cups if you like it, extra sweet.
- For muesli, I use muesli with dried fruits and nuts, it has lesser sugar content than muesli with dried fruits.
- Be sure to let the cookies cool first before serving. The cookies are soft fresh from the oven and I thought it will not hold together but after waiting for them to cool it become better.
- Be sure to bake in about 15 minutes but you can make it up to 17 minutes if you want a crunchy outside but still soft inside.
- You can also create your own muesli mixture with your choice of dried fruits and nuts.
