Gut Healthy Trail Mix Breakfast Cookies

These are perfect for on the go snacks. They’re great with nut butter. A good option if you want to increase your fiber intake without yucky supplements. I try to keep these on hand all the time! I use an ice cream scoop, shape them like meatballs and then press them down before baking. This makes 15 nice sized cookies.

I was looking for a cookie recipe that wasn't sweet and this one is it. The cranberries, applesauce and maple syrup make it sweet enough. Exactly what I was looking for. Makes 8 large cookies. I will make 16 cookies next time.

I didn't have apple sauce so I used pumpkin puree. I added slivered almonds and walnuts. Very good, even my husband liked them.

Turned out nice. I have been eating them for breakfast.

I made these into bars. Drizzled some honey on top. I didn’t have cranberries so i used raisins. I threw a few choc chips in as well. Baked for 20 minutes

I loved them but my family wasn’t a fan, I can eat it raw too. 😋 I guess I’ll make it again just for me. Recipe uses too many different measuring spoons so I simplified it a bit…. Used only 1 cup, 1/3 cup, 2T aka 1/8 cup, & 1 tsp for simplicity of cleanup. Substitutions: I used water instead of milk without any issues. I didn’t have any oat flour so I used my manual food processor to chop up some oats instead, for 1/3 cup given it was less dense and less finely chopped. I will probably just buy oat flour eventually.

Love this recipe! It’s going to be new staple in our home. The only thing we changed was added dried blueberries and a Tbsp of coconut sugar.
