These oatmeal trail mix cookies are the grown-up version of a classic oatmeal cookie — hearty, chewy, and packed with all the best trail mix additions. Rolled oats as the base with dried cranberries, nuts, chocolate chips, and seeds mixed throughout for a cookie that’s satisfying in a way most desserts aren’t. They’re filling enough to count as a snack, delicious enough to be a proper treat, and sturdy enough to pack for hiking, road trips, or lunchboxes without crumbling. The best trail mix decision you’ll ever make.

  • Swap: Customize the trail mix add-ins based on what you have — any combination of dried fruit, nuts, seeds, and chocolate works.
  • Make-ahead: Freeze scooped dough balls and bake from frozen whenever you want fresh cookies; add 2–3 extra minutes.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days; they stay chewy without drying out.
  • Variation: Use a mix of dark chocolate chips and white chocolate chips for a two-tone cookie with more flavor complexity.
  • Serving: Pack individually in small zip bags for portable snacks, or serve on a platter alongside fresh fruit.

Sometimes I just love a good cookie that is jam packed with stuff.. and these trail mix cookies are all that and then some! 🙂 They make for a great filling snack or even a quick grab and go breakfast. Cookies are 2 smart points each, if your counting points plus, two cookies is 3pp and considering they are full of raisins, cranberry, nuts and chocolate chips that’s okay in my books! 🙂

        I made these for the 2nd time today. They are truly a good snack and I like that they are low in fat and sugar. You’ve created a lovely treat. I used walnuts in place of almonds because they’re my fav. I held out just enough cookies for the week ahead and froze the rest. No need to have the temptation around. Thank you for another wonderful recipe. <3

    1. Awesome! Happy to hear you both enjoy them and I think better and more filling than say a store bought granola bar!

  3. I just made these tonight! SO good! I love how they’re so low in fat too. I used dried cherries, dried cranberries and chocolate chips in mine. Amazing.
