Mint Chocolate Cookie Bars
Do you know what happens when you look in your pantry and think, “What can I make with these ingredients that will look really pretty so that people will want to eat it at the potluck?”
You end up mixing M&Ms and crushed Oreos into cookie bars. I must say, it was a success.
Ingredients
- 1 box devils food cake mix
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil or applesauce
- 1 cup mint chocolate M&Ms (I only used green and white candies)
- 1 package mint chocolate Oreos
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 9×13 inch pan with nonstick spray.
- Mix together cake mix, eggs, and oil until well combined.
- Fold M&Ms into batter.
- Place 10 Oreos in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Fold crushed Oreos into batter.
- Bake for 5 minutes. Remove pan from oven and press remaining 20 Oreos into the top of the batter.
- Return to oven and bake an additional 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the cookie bars comes out clean.
- Let cool completely before cutting into 20 rectangles.
- Eat and enjoy!

Trail Mix Breakfast Cookies
August 31 is National Trail Mix Day
I’ll probably spend National Trail Mix Day (Friday) at work (like most of you, I assume).
Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies
Unlike most single ladies, I don’t hate Valentines Day. But I do not celebrate Valentine’s day. I plan to spend February 14 like any other day. I will go to work, complete assignments for grad school, and constantly make this face as I walk around campus:
But I know that some of you have a less passive response to red heart balloons.
Oatmeal Cream Pie Pancakes
January is National Oatmeal Month
My mom loves coffee, and I don’t mean frilly frappes with sugary syrups. I mean a dark mug of steaming joe. No cream. No sugar. Just hot black coffee.
Occasionally, when I was in elementary, we would visit a local coffee shop in the morning before school. Mom would order the mandatory java; I would savor a homemade oatmeal cream pie.
Although a soft, sweet oatmeal cookie isn’t the most balanced breakfast, my grades never suffered from the sugar overload. Now that I am older and (supposedly) smarter, I desire to eat (slightly) more nutritious morning meals.
So, to start off the National Oatmeal Month celebrations, we are making Oatmeal Cream Pie Pancakes (using Blind Spot Nutbutter of course). Stay tuned all month for more amazing oatmeal recipes!
Oatmeal Cream Pie Pancakes
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup milk of choice
- 2 tbs. Oatmeal Raisin Cookie blended nut butter
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- rounded 1/4 tsp baking powder
- dash of cinnamon
- pinch of salt
- vanilla yogurt for topping
Directions
- Grind all ingredients (besides the yogurt) in a food processor until it is the consistency of pancake batter (or paint).
- Heat a griddle or frying pan over high heat. Lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Drop spoonfuls onto heated pan. Once bubbles begin to form on the top, flip the pancakes.
- Cook for an additional 1-3 minutes.
- Stack pancakes on a plate, layering with vanilla yogurt (pancake, yogurt, pancake, yogurt, pancake, etc.)
- Top with raisins, banana slices, syrup, chocolate chips, sprinkles, or whatever pancake toppings you like.
- Eat and enjoy!
