Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 3/4 cups (475 grams) old fashioned oats (, divided)
  • 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter (, softened)
  • 1 cup (158 grams) light brown sugar (, packed )
  • 3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups (383 grams) creamy peanut butter
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 1/2 cups (270 grams) roughly chopped trail mix (, plus more for topping)
  • 1/2 cup (170 grams) semisweet chocolate chips

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a food processor, pulse 4 cups oatmeal until coarsely ground. Set aside.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, blend the butter, sugar, and brown sugar 2 minutes, or until creamy and pale. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Mix in peanut butter and vanilla until combined.
  • Stir in the remaining 3/4 cups oats, ground oats, baking soda, and salt. Fold in the trail mix and chocolate chips.
  • Using a large cookie scoop (about 2 Tablespoons), scoop the dough into balls onto the baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with the palm of your hand. Press extra trail mix on top, if desired.
  • Bake 7 to 8 minutes, or until edges are just starting to turn lightly brown. The middle should still look slightly soft. Remove from the oven and let sit on the pan for 2 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
