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!
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.
