I often serve these hearty, cake-like brownies with a fork for easier eating. The oatmeal crust, fudgy filling and chocolate frosting make them a hit wherever I take them. Ingredients:
1 cup quick-cooking oats |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
1/3 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup butter, melted |
filling: |
1/2 cup butter |
2 ounces semisweet chocolate |
1 cup sugar |
2 eggs, lightly beaten |
1/4 cup 2% milk |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
2/3 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
frosting: |
3 tablespoons butter, softened |
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, melted |
1 cup confectioners' sugar |
1 tablespoon 2% milk |
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the first six ingredients; beat on low speed until blended. Press into a greased 9-in. square baking pan. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan over low heat, melt butter and chocolate. Remove from the heat; stir in the sugar, eggs, milk and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually stir into the chocolate mixture until smooth. Pour over crust.
3. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top springs back when lightly touched. Cool on wire rack.
4. In a small bowl, combine the frosting ingredients; beat until smooth. Frost cooled brownies. Yield: 1-1/2 dozen.
