For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. To prevent the oat crust from becoming too hard, you can line the baking dish with parchment paper. These brownies are best served warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Feel free to add chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans) to the brownie batter or oat topping for extra crunch.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, combine oats, 3/4 cup flour, brown sugar, baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir in 3/4 cup melted butter until evenly coated. Reserve 3/4 cup of this oat mixture for topping. Press the remaining oat mixture firmly into the prepared baking dish. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
03
StepBake the oat crust in the preheated oven until lightly golden, about 5 minutes. (Bake time: 5 minutes)
04
StepWhile the crust is baking, prepare the brownie batter. In a separate bowl, combine white sugar, 1 cup melted butter, and vanilla extract. Beat in eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition, until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly blended. (Prep time: 8 minutes)
05
StepIn another bowl, sift together 1 1/2 cups flour, cocoa powder, and 1 teaspoon salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the sugar-egg mixture, mixing just until the batter is combined. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in chocolate chips. (Prep time: 7 minutes)
06
StepPour the brownie batter evenly over the baked oat crust. Sprinkle the reserved oat mixture over the top. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
07
StepBake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out clean, approximately 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool completely before cutting into squares. (Bake time: 35-40 minutes)
