Easy Vegan Trail Mix Cookies Recipe (V, GF): learn how to make chewy vegan trail mix cookies packed with healthy fruits, nuts & seeds! The perfect homemade snack to bring with you on-the-go. Gluten Free, Dairy-Free.

I have a dirty little secret. I used to have a recipe called Dark Chocolate Trail Mix Cookies on my site. And I used to have more of a life. Hehe! Like, you know, where having an old recipe on my site wasn’t the sordid highlight of my life.

The thing is though, that that trail mix cookie recipe had me torn up for ages! It was what one might call a controversial vegan trail mix cookies recipe. As in, some people loved it and some people hated it. It was easy, it was chewy, it was vegan. But it didn’t quite yield consistent results.

Forgive me. That was years ago on BB, back when I had a small handful of recipes that I didn’t test to death like I do now. Well, I was so torn about that trail mix cookies recipe because readers would literally write emails & love poems to me about how much they loved it. And some other folks would write me SOS notes about how their cookies didn’t turn out right.

Vegan Trail Mix Cookies Recipe Woes.

So, I made the decision to take that trail mix cookie recipe down until I could test it much more thoroughly and bring back my findings.

But then a year passed. And then another. And then another (I think…).

And I decided to scrap the whole thing and create a whole new vegan trail mix cookie recipe. One that was easy. One that was chewy. And one that was consistently good. Every time.

By now, I’m older, wiser, and way less foolish about what recipes I choose to share, and how much I test them (let’s just say A LOT). This is the Beaming Baker you know and rely on. So, if you’re ready, I’m ready to share my delicious, beloved Easy Chewy Vegan Trail Mix Cookies recipe with you!

Customizing Your Easy Vegan Trail Mix Cookies

The best part? Making these easy vegan trail mix cookies your own is super easy!

Add-ins: feel free to swap the vegan chocolate chips, dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds and nuts with your favorite add-ins. Just make sure to chop up all dried fruits except the kind that are naturally small, like raisins. Try sunflower seeds, almonds, coconut flakes, and more. Just keep the amount the same and your vegan trail mix cookies will turn out fabulous.

Recommended Tools for the Best Chewy Trail Mix Cookies

Medium Cookie Scoop: One of the most valuable tools in my vegan cookie making arsenal. It’s super easy to use, and allows me to create uniform cookie shapes in a fraction of the time it would take to scoop cookie dough manually. So useful!
Unbleached Parchment Paper: I always line my baking sheets with this because it keeps the cookies from sticking, gives them wonderfully crispy bottoms, and makes it sooo easy to clean up afterwards. 😉
My Favorite Prep Bowls: Okay, I seriously use these bowls all the time, in every recipe I make. Once you see how stress-free and easy it is to bake cookies when all your ingredients are pre-measured before you actually start mixing, you’ll never bake vegan cookies differently again. These bowls are the perfect size–not too small, not too big. Love ’em!
Where to Buy Ingredients: Vegan Chocolate Chips | Gluten Free Rolled Oats | Coconut Sugar | Pure Maple Syrup | Ground Golden Flaxseed | Walnuts | Almonds | Pumpkin Seeds | Dried Cranberries | Pure Vanilla Extract
