MAPLE GRANOLA TO-GO BREAKFAST COOKIES



Maple Granola To-Go Breakfast Cookies image

Long slow bake, low heat - that's what makes our granola bars work so well. Maple syrup keeps everything just moist enough to pack into muffin tins for a final bake - the perfect shape for stacking in the cookie jar.

Yield Makes: 12 granola cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/4 cup whole almonds with skins, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup green pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
1/4 cup toasted wheat germ
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup maple syrup
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup mixed dried fruit, such as diced apricots, dates and pears, or blueberries, cranberries, currants and raisins
2 large egg whites, lightly beaten
Nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F. Toss the oats, almonds, pecans, pumpkin seeds, wheat germ and sesame seeds in a large bowl.
  • Melt the butter with 2 tablespoons maple syrup in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Pour the syrup mixture over the oat mixture and stir to coat evenly.
  • Spread the mixture on a baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, stirring occasionally, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove the mixture from the oven, but leave the oven on.
  • Transfer the granola to a large bowl. Stir in the remaining maple syrup, the dried fruit and egg whites. Spray twelve 1/2-cup nonstick muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray and firmly press about 1/3 cup of the mixture into each. Bake until set, about 45 minutes.
  • Transfer the muffin tin to a rack and cool 15 minutes before unmolding. Store cooled granola up to 1 month at room temperature in a tightly sealed container.

MAKE-AHEAD BREAKFAST GRANOLA COOKIES



Make-Ahead Breakfast Granola Cookies image

Provided by Katie Lee Biegel

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 12 to 15 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups creamy peanut butter
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 large eggs
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup roasted and salted pepitas
Greek yogurt, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Mix the peanut butter, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and eggs in a large bowl with a handheld mixer until smooth. Add the oats, cranberries and pepitas and mix until just combined. Use a 1/4-cup dry measuring cup or 1/4-cup ice cream scoop to scoop the dough onto the baking sheets, leaving at least 1 inch between scoops, making about 9 per tray. Flatten the scoops slightly with the back of a spoon. Bake until the cookies are starting to brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Let them sit on the baking sheets for a couple of minutes to let them set up a little bit. Serve warm, or let cool completely, then store in an airtight container for up to a week. Also great for freezing and eating straight out of the freezer! Serve with Greek yogurt for slathering or dipping, if using.

SAVORY BREAKFAST COOKIES



Savory Breakfast Cookies image

I admit to being a granola bar failure. A lot of the homemade granola bar recipes I've tried are either rock hard or gummy uncooked-tasting disasters. This recipe is for a savory breakfast cookie that is really light and crispy. This is a variation of a recipe that was published by Quaker Oats. I've made several adjustments, but the basic recipe idea is theirs. The bacon and cheese can make this quite salty, so I usually only add a pinch of salt. The recipe appears to be quite forgiving, however, and I've made different variations on the same theme. I don't change the sugar amount because I've found that it really needs the sugar for purposes of improving the texture. NOTE: In lieu of the flours, you may substitute 3/4 c. white flour and 1/4 cup wheat germ, just make sure you get a cup of some sort of flour mixture. The prep time doesn't include time in the refrigerator.
