How to Make Peanut Butter Trail Mix Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add ½ cup creamy peanut butter and beat until well combined.
  4. Mix in 1 large egg white, 1 mashed ripe banana, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup rolled oats, ¼ cup flaxseed meal, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. If your trail mix contains large pieces, chop them into smaller, bite-sized pieces. Measure out 1 cup of your favorite trail mix.
  8. Gently fold the trail mix into the cookie dough.
  9. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Slightly flatten each cookie with a fork (optional).
  10. Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are set.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
