Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts or pecans)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and stir in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract. Gradually add the melted butter mixture, whisking constantly to combine.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Stir in the rolled oats, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed in the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake).

Step 8

Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.

Step 9

Serve and enjoy your chewy, chocolatey oatmeal brownies!
