Yep, you don’t want rainbow soup, so when you add them in at the very end, gently stir them in. When stirring in the mini M&M’s be careful – I noticed that they like to lend their color to anything they touch. You’ll want to spread this buttercream on everything. I knew it had to be a part of this cake because of you fine people. Same goes for my peanut butter buttercream – this has been a favorite for not only us, but YOU! Thank you for making it over and over again. I save my all-natural healthy PB for our sandwiches, haha. I know, I know, it’s not the healthiest, but LOOK AT THE CAKE YOU’RE MAKING, right?

If you’re going to make any of my recipes that include peanut butter, go for the Skippy Peanut Butter (Creamy, not crunchy).

It melded in perfectly, and gave the cake batter a really soft and gorgeous texture. Instead, I decided to just make my oatmeal separately over the stovetop, and then add that prepared oatmeal into my cake batter.

I’ve included cookie dough in a couple of my different cakes – my most well known and loved is from my Funfetti Cookie Dough Cake from my best selling cookbook, Cake Confidence , and before I receive comments about the dangers of raw cookie dough – GOOD NEWS! The cookie dough is completely eggless, and you’re always welcome to pre-bake your flour as a precaution. I wanted to create a cake that echoed all those familiar Monster Cookie flavors, and that meant oatmeal, peanut butter, M&M’s, chocolate, and of course COOKIE DOUGH! ![]() If you’ve never heard of a Monster Cookie, or Monster Bars, or Monster anything, usually it’s referring to a dessert that has so many different components that traditionally include oatmeal, peanut butter, and a few toss-ins for fun. □ It was such a joy to create, and even more of a delight to dive into. I mean, look at that beauty!! It’s bright, it’s cheerful, and it has a little something for your inner cookie-dough-loving child,too. ![]() This cake has everything you love about Monster Cookies – creamy peanut butter, soft oatmeal, mini chocolate chips, mini M&M’s, and it’s all wrapped up into a gorgeous cake that will have you thinking about your next slice the second you finish licking your plate. ![]()
