Gluten and Sugar Free Bircher Muesli Cookies

These tasty little Gluten and Sugar Free Bircher Muesli Cookies are very easy to make and perfect lunch box or after school snacks for your children (or yourself as an elevenses treat!)

Having received my new Degustabox UK parcel yesterday, I decided to do some baking this afternoon while the boys were at after school club, and rustle up a little snack for their return home.

I was sent some Moma raspberry and coconut bircher muesli which was gluten free and contains non added sugar, so these were the basis of my cookies. To keep these cookies gluten and sugar free, I added a little GF flour which I had in my cupboard (left over from a GBBO inspired recipe last autumn), and some marmalade in place of honey or golden syrup. I know that marmalade can be used in place of honey to stick ingredients together, when I made these Breakfast Flapjacks last month. 

They took about 15 minutes to bake and then once they were cooled they were ready for the taste test.

They are delicious . The orange marmalade gives them a tangy flavour and the fruit and seeds of the bircher muesli gives lovely texture and flavour to the cookies, as well as making them look attractive. Plus no extra sugar so really kind to our teeth and waistlines! (Ok so there was a little butter but ssshhhh !).

These were so easy to make – heck I made a successful cookie and for anyone who knows me and my baking knows that I am not good at making biscuits/ cookies. BUT these turned out so well *does a little happy dance* and they would be a great cooking with your kids recipe too. 

Here is the recipe :
