Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.75 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1.5 cups Mini M&Ms
• 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted. Allow to cool slightly.

Step 3

Whisk the brown sugar and granulated sugar into the melted butter until the mixture is smooth.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.

Step 6

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a silicone spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Fold in the oats, 1 cup of the mini M&Ms, and the chocolate chips (if using). The batter will be thick.

Step 8

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Scatter the remaining 0.5 cup of mini M&Ms over the top for decoration.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).

Step 10

Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment overhang.

Step 11

Cut the brownies into 12 squares, serve, and enjoy!
