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 28 to 30 cookies out of the mix if you use a 1 tablespoon (20g) measure.

Author: Gina @ The Passionate Pantry
Serves: 28 to 30 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 muscovado 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, salt and reserved fruit and mix 10 seconds / speed 3
- Scrape down sides 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 (the dough will be sticky so you will need to dampen your palms first) and place onto baking tray, and flatten lightly with your fingers so they are a nice round shape and not too thick
- Bake for 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
