These easy Trail Mix Cookies are a healthy snack. They're made with mashed banana and a little sweetener.
One thing I've been working on recently is cutting back on sugar. I don't make anything with white sugar except for homemade kombucha, but I do use maple syrup a lot.
One way I've been doing that is using less sweetener in my coffee. I have also been using dates more. For these oatmeal cookies I used a mashed banana and a little maple syrup.

How To Make These Cookies
Mix mashed banana and peanut butter. Add rolled oats, maple syrup, and salt. Add in peanuts, pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries, and chocolate chips.
Form balls and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. You'll need to flatten them, since they don't rise or spread out. Bake until golden brown.
