Secret Recipe Club: Oatmeal, M&M and Peanut Butter cookies


It's time for another secret recipe reveal day! The secret recipe club was started by Amanda from Amanda's Cookin' It has become very popular and there is currently a waiting list to join! I am in Group D and will be blogging a secret recipe post at the end of each month. The idea is simple - each month you are assigned a blog which you keep secret hence the name and make a recipe from that blog. Someone else will have your blog too. All posts are revealed at the same time on a set date. As Amanda says, its a fun way to discover new blogs, make new friends and step outside of our comfort zones.

This month, I have been assigned lifeandkitchen as my secret blog and I absolutely love it. There are so many recipes there that appeal to me particularly the baker in me :) I have to admit I'm always slightly worried that I will be assigned a blog that has no baking in it but have not come across that yet. There is a clear recipe index on her blog with gorgeous photos for each post.  The recipes are easy to follow and I've already bookmarked a few other recipes to try. 
For this challenge I chose these oatmeal, M&M and peanut butter cookies - I don't think you even need to ask why if you are a frequent visitor to my blog! Coincidentally, I chose peanut butter chip pillows for my first secret recipe post. Do you see a trend here? :) 




 I decided to use peanut M&Ms for extra nuttiness :) 

 love the colour of the M&Ms 




Recipe adapted from lifeandkitchen

225g butter
100g brown sugar
90g caster sugar
390g peanut butter
2 eggs
185g flour
2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
135g oats
185g peanut M&Ms


  • Preheat the oven to 180C.
  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. 
  • Cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  • Add in the peanut butter and then the eggs, one at a time. 
  • Stir in the flour, baking soda, salt and oats.
  • Finally, add the m&m's.
  • Scoop small scoops of cookie dough on to the baking sheet spaced apart.
  • Bake for approximately 10 minutes until golden brown.

    Oh nice job! These remind me of my favorite monster cookies (essentially the same thing)! They look awesome!

    Peanut butter in cookies...or anything for that matter is always a winner for me, great looking cookie.

    If you haven't already, I'd love for you to check out my Group 'A' SRC entry: Crunchy Fudgy Heart Bites and my Group 'D' entry: Health(ier) Peanut Brittle

    Despite my resistance to candies, M&M's are particularly tough for me to resist ;) Whenever I see a cookie with these devils, I can't help but desire a munch of the cookie. These look delicious (in spite of myself)!

    So I thought for a split second I would boycott you and your blog in pure jealousy for the fact you are cupcaking and sweet toothing it up in my favourite place in the whole world!!! but then I got over it! and I came across these amazing cookies and had a change of heart, haha (you know I would never boycott you...but the jealousy part is all true!) they are so chunky looking and who doesn't love peanut m&m's! You could remake these when you get home with actual peanut butter m&m's if you manage to pick any up over there, now that would be a pb overload! but I'm sure any pb lover like yourself would love it! Hope you are having the time of your life :) so excited for all your blogs when you get back!!

    I may just have to tweet these today, Ros. It's National Peanut Butter Lovers' Day here in the states and your cookies need to be shared:) I must admit, I'm a bit surprised you didn't somehow add bananas seeing how much you love baking with them too, lol...

    Thanks for sharing...
