Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (18.5-ounce) box yellow cake mix
- 2 cups quick-cooking oats
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, oats, and sugar. In another small bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil and eggs.
- Add the oil mixture to the cake mix mixture. Stir in the walnuts, chocolate chips, and vanilla.
- Using a cookie scoop, shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheets 2 inches apart. Bake for 12 minutes, until lightly browned.
- Cool for 2 to 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool for about 10 minutes. Serve.
Notes
