Sometimes you just need a little sweet treat. At least, I do. One of the best things that happened to me when I lost that extra 30 lbs (that I had carried around my entire adult life) by eating a whole-food, plant-based, oil-free diet is that now I can occasionally indulge in a little high fat, high-calorie food without gaining any weight.

Vegan Oil-Free Oatmeal Trail Cookies

These packable, shareable, delicious Vegan Oil-Free Oatmeal Trail Cookies are perfect for that afternoon tea break and for any other cookie eating occasion.

I should have added a book to that photo and then it would have been a true depiction of one of my favorite ways to take an afternoon break. You can’t tell, but between that last sentence and this one, there was an hour pause while I sat down with a cup of tea and a cookie and my book. Ahhh…I’m ready to get back to work.

This recipe is one that was created because I used to love a “Cowboy Cookie” back in my non-vegan oily days.

I found this info about where that name came from:

“Cowboy Cookies are said to be a cookie that cowboys on the trail enjoyed. They were considered the first power bar. They were a quick and easy way to get nutrients for the long travels that cowboys made. They also kept well.”

Other sites claim they were called Trail Cookies. Either way, this is a version that I can feel pretty good about indulging in.
