Seedy Trail Mix Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies (vegan, gluten-free, nut free)

These chewy seedy trail mix oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are out of this world, delicious, and nourishing! I took my original (and favorite) oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe from the blog and added four different kinds of seeds to add some protein, healthy fats, and fiber. The cookies are chewy, seedy, and resemble a healthy trail mix in cookie form. There are no nuts in this for those who are allergic. I personally think the seeds are perfect in this cookie and it makes for a great snack, breakfast, or dessert. Yes, these cookies are good enough for breakfast! They are vegan, gluten-free, refined sugar free, and nut free. Also, this can be made in ONE bowl! YES!
