Breakfast Fruit Biscuits

written by Katrina - The Organised Housewife August 15, 2016

My kids start school early some mornings for either netball training or choir rehearsal. They have breakfast at home around 6am, but they find they get really hungry between then and morning tea time which is late morning.  I usually send them to school with a snack to have just before school starts.  They like hot chocolate, smoothies, muesli slice, fruit, yoghurt or biscuits.  I’ve been making these breakfast fruit biscuits to have on hand for these early morning, the whole family really like them, hubby has them for morning tea when he’s out travelling to clients.

Breakfast fruit biscuits are a great breakfast snack for busy mornings filled with fruit and wholemeal flour.

I use mixed dried fruit but pick out the cherries, only because I’m not a big fan of them unless they are in a cherry ripe chocolate bar (my favourite, go figure). You can also put nuts into this recipe, reduce the amount of fruit to 1 1/1 cups along with 1/2 cup of your favourite chopped nut.  Pecans, macadamia or almonds would all be a really nice addition.  I don’t add them as Miss 13 currently has braces and can’t eat nuts.

Breakfast fruit biscuits are a great breakfast snack for busy mornings filled with fruit and wholemeal flour.

As I do with just about everything I bake, I put them in the freezer for when they are needed.  We have been making lunches the night before lately, so we put them into a lunch container then and they are defrosted by the morning.

I actually don’t mind having 2 some mornings along with my coffee.

Morning Katrina,
Always enjoy my ‘wakeup’ cuppa over reading your daily post.. One I would like to
add is once every 6-8 weeks ironing board cover goes in the wash for a freshen up & then a proper purge of the iron at the same
time. I also make up my own starch using Pearsons concentrate (much less expensive than bigger brands).
Just a thought. Keep up the great work!

I’m in the US. I may be asking a dumb question, but please forgive me if I am. How much butter is that in American terms, please?

It’s around 7 ½ oz of butter. The cups for dry ingredients would be metric, too, which is around 8 ? fl oz.
