My step-daughter and I made this last month. Just didn't get around to posting till now.
She doesn't like lots of nuts so we only have almonds but you could put any kind of nuts or seeds in that you want. I would just use less oats for each item that you add to your recipe.
Preheat oven to 350
Mix together
8 cups old fashioned oats. (Less if you use other nuts or seeds)
2 cups almonds (Sliced or chopped)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1.2 teaspoon cinnamon
6 oz. raisins (if you want)
Mix in a separate bowl
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup honey
3/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Blend wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
Spread out on baking sheets and bake for 12 minutes. Stir up and re-spread then bake another 12 minutes.
Cool completely and enjoy. We like it with milk or with yogurt.

Camo cookies
That time of year again. My brother's b-day. Had a friend ask if I was going to make Camo cupcakes for him again. I told her I was more into cookies this year then cupcakes so "Ding" I will try Camo cookies.
He loved them.
I used my basic cake cookie recipe that you can find in an earlier post. But I made three batches. Yes I know a lot of cookies. But that is ok I gave him a bunch, kept a bunch and brought some to work.
1 box choc cake mix (might want to use a little more oil, it seemed really thick)
1 box white cake mix
1 box yellow or white cake mix and add green food coloring.
I just took a little bit of each color and squished them together. Turned out great.

One bottle of any flavor BBQ sauce that you want.
One bag frozen chicken wing sections.
Add both to crockpot.
Cook 2 hours on high then 2 hours on low.
Spread out of baking sheet and cook 30 min. turning over half way through.
And Enjoy.

Homemade Chocolate Icing
My first try at homemade icing. And I gotta say. I rocked it. I will never buy chocolate icing again.
You will need
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup softened unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 Tablespoons milk
1/3 cup (or to taste) cocoa powder
I just used a large spoon but you could use beaters if you wanted.
Stir or beat powdered sugar and butter until smooth. Add in the rest and stir or beat until well mixed.
Add more milk if it is too thick.
And that is it. So Simple. So Good.
I was able to cover two dozen cupcakes with this.

Creamy Ramen noodles.
So So good. Creamy Ramen noodles. Cook the ramen noodles in 2 cups water for 3 minutes. Drain the water. Add 1/3 cup milk and 1 Tbs butter and the ramen mix. Heat until the butter melts. So easy and so good. You can use any flavor ramen. I have been hooked on pork flavor right now.

Cake cookies
These cookies are so light and fluffy and so easy to make. I think I have a new favorite chocolate chip cookie.
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix together
1 cake mix. I used yellow but will try others in the future.
1/2 cup oil
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 Tbsp vanilla pudding mix (not required, I just like vanilla)
3/4 cup chocolate chips. (Less or more as desired)
Spoon out balls onto a baking sheet. Bake for 12 - 14 minutes. ( I would start out with 10 min and adjust as necessary. I usually have to bake for longer then most recipes.)
This made about 3 1/2 dozen cookies.
Just a update. I used Pillsbury cake mix the first time and they turned out soft and chewy. I used Duncan Hines the last time I made them and they were crunchy. So I think the softness of the cookies depends on the cake mix.
