My son Sam has a severe allergy to all nuts and some seeds (bummer!) … and most muesli cookies tend to have nuts or seeds or both! So this recipe is for Sam.
I use oats from “GF Oats” (see here) so this is a wheat free recipe which gives it a double tick: nut free and wheat free.
You should get 24 cookies out of the mix if you use a 1 tablespoon (20g) measure.
Sam's Muesli Cookies (Nut Free / Wheat Free)

Author: Gina @ The Passionate Pantry
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 100g dried fruit of choice (I used apricots, dried apple and craisins)
- 100g butter
- 100g honey
- 100g light muscovado sugar, or brown sugar
- 4 Medjool dates, pitted
- 200g rolled oats
- 20g cornflour
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp sea salt flakes, or ½ tsp fine sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 160 degrees fan forced
- Line two trays with baking paper
- Place dried fruit into the TM bowl and chop 8 seconds / speed 6 and put aside
- Do not wash bowl
- Place butter, honey and sugar into TM bowl and melt 6 minutes / Veroma / speed 2 / MC off
- Add dates and mix 4 seconds / speed 6 / MC on
- Add oats, cornflour, cinnamon, and salt and mix 10 seconds / speed 3
- Scrape down sides, add fruit and mix for another 10 seconds / speed 3
- Remove mix from TM bowl and place into separate bowl to rest for 10 minutes before rolling into balls
- Roll mix into balls (I use a tablespoon measure which I rest in a small bowl of water before placing the mixture into it which helps releasing the mixture, and also provides a little moisture on my hands when rolling the dough into balls) and place onto baking tray, then with your fingers lightly flatten the balls so they are a nice round shape
- Bake 10 minutes, turn tray around and bake for a further 10 minutes
- Remove tray from oven … at this point I like to flatten the cookies a little with a spatula ... leave cookies on tray for 10 minutes and then move to a cooling rack to cool completely
- They will be soft when out of the oven, but will firm up on cooling
- Store in a sealed container where they will keep for at least two weeks
