Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F and line a baking sheet with a parchment paper. Place oats, nuts and seeds on a baking sheet and toast for 10-12 minutes until slightly browned. Remove from the oven, transfer to a medium bowl to cool.
- To a bowl with cooled nuts add dried fruit and chocolate.
- In a large bowl combine applesauce, almond butter, sugar, vanilla extract, salt and baking powder. Stir in flour.
- Stir in nut and dried fruit mixture smashing it against the sides of the bowl with a spatula until all ingredients are combined.
- Cover the bowl and chill for 2 hours. Lightly moisten your hands and shape cookies into 12 disks making sure to pack firmly.
- Place the cookies evenly spaced out on your prepared baking sheet. Bake cookies for 11-3 until golden brown. Transfer on a baking sheet and let cookies cool.
Notes
- Oats: For this recipe, make sure to choose old-fashioned rolled oats.
- Shaping the cookies: Since several ingredients in this recipe are chunky in nature (chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit), it's best to moisten your hands when shaping cookies. That way, the cookies won't fall apart.
- Trail Mix: You can use store-bought Trail Mix. This will cut down on the preparation time. Since most store-bought Trail Mixes contain roasted nuts and seeds, there's no need to toast them again.
- Nuts: If you're allergic to nuts, you can make the cookies with just seeds and seed butter. Sunflower or pumpkin seeds are all great and healthy choices.
- Flour: You can substitute all-purpose flour for Whole Wheat Pastry Flour or Whole Wheat Flour.
- Storage: These chewy vegan trail mix cookies will stay fresh when stored in an airtight container at room temperature for about a week.
- In the Fridge: If you want to extend their freshness, you can keep them in the fridge. Simply place the cookies in an airtight container, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together, and they'll stay good for up to two weeks.
- Freezing: Good news for those who love to plan ahead, these cookies can be frozen for up to three months! Scoop out your cookie dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze. Once solid, transfer the frozen cookie dough balls into a zip-top bag and keep them in the freezer. When you're ready to bake, there's no need to thaw. Just add an extra minute or two to your total baking time.
