PEANUT TRAIL MIX RECIPES

Steps:

• Mix together granola, bran cereal, dry milk, cranberries, sunflower seeds, almonds, raisins, and flax seeds in a large bowl.
• Bring honey, brown sugar, and salt to a boil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Remove from heat.
• Stir peanut butter and vanilla extract into the honey mixture until melted and combined.
• Add peanut butter-honey mixture to the dry ingredients and stir well to combine.
• Press mixture into a 9x13-inch baking pan lined with parchment or waxed paper.
• Refrigerate for 30 minutes before cutting into bars.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cream butter and brown sugar until smooth.
• Add peanut butter and blend well.
• Mix in egg white, banana and vanilla.
• Add flours, flax seed meal, baking powder and salt and stir until well mixed.
• Add oatmeal and stir until soft dough forms.
• If the trail mix has large chunks (like dried pineapple), cut into smaller chunks, then measure to make 1 cup.
• Stir trail mix into the batter.
• You can either drop the dough by heaping teaspoonsful onto the cookie sheet (sprayed with cooking spray) or shape the batter a litte into flattened balls of dough. I like to shape them a bit.
• Place the cookies about 2 inches apart on the cookie sheet.
• Bake for 8 - 12 minutes or until set.
