🍽 Recipe

Hey there, cookie friends cuties! Let's talk MUESLI (cookies).

You know, that awesome mix of oats, nuts, seeds, and dried fruit. That muesli bag filled with goodness that you bought for your healthy mornings … but then ends up languishing in the back of the cabinet?? Did that ever happen to you? It certainly happened to me.

This bag of forgotten goodness had been taunting me for months! "Eat me for breakfast!" it seemed to whisper. But smoothies and avocado toast were calling my name most mornings, and I just wasn’t feeling the muesli.

And what a shame it would be to let all that muesli goodness go old (or be found by food moths with their keen sense of yummy and good).

Then it hit me like a bolt of cookie-loving lightning! Why not repurpose that lonely muesli into something EPIC? Like, crispy, crunchy, "OMG this is amazing" kind of epic! Something saying goodbye to sad, abandoned muesli and hello to delicious, healthy cookies around the clock.

Oof, I said "healthy". Wait, before you picture some cardboard-textured "healthy" cookie, let me stop you right there. These cookies? They are the real deal! They've got that perfect balance of sweet and crunchy, packed with texture and flavor from all those yummy muesli ingredients (nuts, seeds, dried fruit – you name it!).

Now that we covered the "healthy" let's move on to the "easy". Because this recipe is so easy, it's practically criminal. No fancy ingredients, no complicated steps. Just grab your **muesli (any kind will work), some silken tofu (don't worry, it works as a magical binder, no weird tofu-flavored result!), a sprinkle of chia seeds (or ground flaxseed), and maybe a pinch of sweetener. 4 ingredients! That’s it. (Muesli counts as ONE ingredient, right?).

Muesli Cookies Ingredient Lineup

Here's the scoop on the ingredients:

Muesli
Turns out that muesli mix is a goldmine of flavor and texture just waiting to be transformed. Think about it—oats for chew, nuts and seeds for a satisfying crunch, and dried fruit for those bursts of sweet, juicy goodness.
Silken Tofu
Silken tofu acts as a liquid and binder, helping to moisten our muesli cookies. It also delivers a welcome protein kick.
Chia Seeds or Ground Linseeds
The egg-cellent replacement! These tiny little powerhouses, when mixed with liquid, create a gel-like substance that helps hold everything together, just like an egg would.
Pinch of Granulated Sweetener
A little goes a long way since the muesli will have some sweetness to it already. My muesli mix consisted of 45% dried fruit (plus cornflakes, puffed amaranth, and sunflower seeds). You don't need to have the exact same ingredients for the cookies to turn out great. But make sure that the mix contains about 45% dried fruit, or increase the amount of sweetener you add to the recipe.

Did you notice that these muesli cookies are accidentally oil-free and flourless? Yep, no need for any of that. They are PERFECT as they are.

Secretly Good for You!

These muesli cookies are so darn delicious, you won't actually believe they are good for you (that's where the "secretly" comes in).

All those nutritious seeds and dried fruit in the muesli? Check.

Silken tofu adding moisture and protein? You betcha.

Chia seeds or ground linseeds acting as an egg replacement and giving you a healthy dose of omega-3s? Absolutely!

**How Does Granola Cookies Sound?**

No muesli? Granola to the rescue!

Since granola is basically pre-baked, sweetened muesli, it works beautifully in this recipe. Just swap the muesli for granola and you get ... granola cookies.

Keep in mind that granola can be a touch sweeter, so you might not need any additional sweetener.

And now let’s circle right back to our muesli cookies for confession time: I now buy muesli just to bake these cookies – they're THAT good! Those muesli bags are like the best, healthy cookie mix you can ever get your hands on.

So, go on and dust off that forgotten muesli bag (or run to the store to buy a bag) and whip up a batch of these 4-ingredient wonders.

And don't forget to drop a comment below with your muesli mix and any crazy cookie creations (muesli or granola?) you come up with! Can't wait to hear!
