Trail Mix Cookies
Submitted by Anna Pippin, MSHN
These naturally gluten free, dairy free, and nut free cookies are so delicious and hearty! The perfect mid-morning snack or a great pick me up on the trail! Loaded with wholesome ingredients like sun butter, oatmeal, flax seed, raisins, pumpkin seeds, coconut, maple syrup, and a sprinkle of chocolate chips! These are quick and easy to put together and are going to be your new favorite cookie!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup sun butter
- 1 cup shredded coconut flakes
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup oatmeal
- 1 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
- 2 tbsp of ground flaxseed
- 6 tbsp of water
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper (note: you may end up needing a second baking sheet).
- Mix the ground flaxseed with the water in a small bowl and put in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- In a large bowl, add all of the remaining ingredients and mix until everything is well combined.
- After the 15 minutes is over, stir the flax and water mixture and then add it to the remaining ingredients in your bowl and mix to combine.
- Scoop out the dough into generous tablespoon-sized portions, leaving a little room between each cookie. Use your hands to shape the dough and slightly flatten the dough (but not too much).
- Bake for approx. 12 minutes, until cookies are set. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before enjoying.
Note: sometimes sunflower butter turns green when baked- if this happens don’t worry! It’s natural and nothing to be worried about!
