CHUNKY TRAIL MIX BREAKFAST COOKIES



Chunky Trail Mix Breakfast Cookies image

This is a modified version of a recipe I found on the King Arthur Flour site. I get asked for this recipe every time I share them with someone. I love to make a big batch and freeze them for later. They thaw well in the microwave for about 30 seconds and go great with a latte or cup of strong coffee in the morning (though my husband will tell you they are great any time of day!). If you don't like my "add-ins" you can substitute your choice of dried fruit, chips, oats and nuts (a total of 4 1/2 cups). Enjoy!

Time 40m

Yield 24 big cookies, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 eggs
1/3 cup milk
1 1/4 cups white whole wheat flour
1/3 cup non-fat powdered milk
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup old fashioned oats
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter chips
1/2 cup dried cherries
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup golden raisin

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F Spray two baking sheets with nonstick pan spray.
  • In the bowl of your mixer combine the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and vanilla. Beat on medium high speed until lightened and fluffy.
  • Add in the eggs and liquid milk, mix until well combined. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl once or twice.
  • On low speed mix in the flour, dried milk, cinnamon and salt. Mix until the dough is cohesive. Add last 6 ingredients until combined.
  • Use a 1/4 cup to measure out batter. Place 2 inches apart, slightly flattening each mound. This recipe contains no leaveners, so the cookies will only spread and rise slightly.
  • Bake the cookies for 18-20 minutes, until lightly browned. Do not over-bake or the cookies will be dry and crumbly. Cool on cookie sheets for 5-8 minutes. Move to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: Overripe bananas add natural sweetness and moisture to the cookies, making them extra delicious.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will result in tough cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature: This will help the cookies develop a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the cookies to firm up.

Conclusion:

These chunky breakfast cookies are a delicious and nutritious way to start your day. They're packed with wholesome ingredients like oats, nuts, and seeds, and they're sweetened naturally with ripe bananas and honey. Plus, they're easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
