Trail Mix Brownies

I am a HUGE fan of “dumping” together fun baked recipes like this! I love mixing and matching dried fruit, nuts and seeds into trail mixes…especially after the holiday baking season.

(Now is the best time to save on baking ingredients – so STOCK UP!)

This resulted from a fun mix and match of goodies I had in the baking cabinet, and a fun homemade fudgy recipe on my friend Toni’s website!

<3 -ing these trail mix brownies, and I hope you do too!

Trail Mix Brownies

Packed with YUM!
Prep Time25 minutes
Cook Time32 minutes
Servings - 24 servings

Ingredients 

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
  • 2 1/4 cups sugar
  • 5 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 cups trail mix, divided

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350 F.
  • Prepare a 9 x 13 inch pan by lining it with parchment paper. Spray the parchment with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the butter, coconut oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Stir to combine.
  • In a small bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir.
  • Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Stir just until they pull together. There will still be a few clumps.
  • Add the chocolate chips and 1 cup of trail mix and stir.
  • Pour the batter into the lined pan and sprinkle evenly with the remaining trail mix. Press the trail mix into the batter a little.
  • Bake for 32 minutes. The batter will be barely set in the middle. Do not do a toothpick test. If you jiggle the pan and see the middle move, then put it back in the oven for about 2 minutes.
  • Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. If you remove them too early, they'll fall apart. Let them set up in the pan a little while.
  • Remove the brownies from the pan by using the parchment as handles. Move the brownies and parchment to a cooling rack.
  • Serve Trail Mix Brownies warm or cool.
