Easy Trail Mix Cookies

Easy, easy, easy. Pretty sure “easy” has become my middle name by now. I’m a mom. I have to make easy recipes, otherwise I will drive myself nuts and not get anything done! Hence, the reason for so many baked oatmeal flavors like apple pie baked oats, birthday cake baked oats, chocolate baked oats and so many more! I have videos of how to make baked oatmeal on Instagram too! These vegan trail mix cookies are no exception to my easy recipes either. They might just be one of the easiest cookies to bake ever!

Oatmeal Trail Mix Cookie Recipe

What I love about these easy healthy trail mix cookies is the fact that we use oats as the main “flour.” I love using oat flour for most of my recipes, but for these cookies I wanted to create a little more texture. I simply pulsed my rolled oats in my Vitamix Blender until course. I basically made my own “quick oats” at home! So you can either do what I did or you can use quick cooking oats. Using oats and tapioca flour also make these cookies completely gluten-free! See notes below recipe for tapioca flour subs.

How To Make Trail Mix Cookies

These cookies are probably one of the easiest recipes ever. Well, most of my cookie recipes are… like my soft vegan lemon cookies and my pumpkin chocolate chip cookies! Here’s what you need to do to make these healthy cookies.

1. Mix your wet ingredients until smooth.
2. Fold in your dry ingredients and trail mix.
3. Bake for 9-12 minutes until slightly golden.
4. Devour!!!!

Recipe Using Trail Mix

If you’re in the mood to spice up that bag of trail mix you have sitting around, this is the recipe for you. Similar to my No-Bake Chocolate Trail Mix Granola Bars, these trail mix cookies are SO STINKIN’ EASY to make! Start to finish they will take you only about 15 minutes! And you only need 8 ingredients!

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes

Total Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

Wet

• 1 Flax Egg (1 Tbs Ground Flax + 2 Tbs Water. Let thicken for 5 min) (or 1 regular egg)
• ⅓ Cup Drippy Almond Butter (I use Georgia Grinders code “shh20”) (can sub any nut/seed butter)
• 3 Tbs Honey or Pure Maple Syrup
• ½ tsp Cinnamon

Dry

• 1 Cup Quick Cooking Oats (or pulse rolled oats in blender until coarsely ground)
• 2 Tbs Tapioca Flour (can sub arrowroot flour or 1 Tbs cornstarch)
• ½ tsp Baking Powder
• ½ Cup Trail Mix (I used this one with walnuts, cranberries, and chocolate chunks)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a medium bowl, mix wet ingredients until smooth.

3. Fold in all dry ingredients except trail mix until well incorporated. Then, fold in trail mix.

4. Transfer to cookie sheet using a medium cookie scoop (makes 8 cookies). Flatten the cookies down (they won’t spread much when baked) and bake at 350 F. for 9-12 minutes until set on top, fragrant, and slightly golden.

5. Store in an airtight container on the counter for up to a week, in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for 3 months!

Notes

1. Almond Butter Substitutes: easily swap the almond butter for peanut butter, cashew butter, sunflower seed butter, or any nut or seed butter or choice!
