Time 1h10m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 16

cooking spray
2 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup packed brown sugar
½ teaspoon baking soda
¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
3 caramel and toasted coconut cookies (such as Girl Scout Samoas®)
½ cup unsalted butter
2 (4 ounce) bars high quality dark chocolate, chopped
¾ cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
¾ cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking powder

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray an 8x8-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  • Mix oats, flour, brown sugar, and baking soda together in a large bowl. Stir in melted butter. Measure 1/3 of the oat mixture into a separate bowl; stir in chopped cookies. Reserve for the topping. Press the remaining oat mixture into the baking pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 10 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter and 1/2 of the dark chocolate in a heavy 1 1/2-quart saucepan over low heat. Stir until smooth. Remove from heat and cool to lukewarm.
  • Stir brown sugar and vanilla into the melted chocolate mixture. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, until mixture is glossy and smooth.
  • Whisk flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder together. Stir into the chocolate mixture. Stir in remaining dark chocolate. Spread brownie batter over the baked oat base. Sprinkle with reserved topping.
  • Bake until the center is set and the topping has turned golden brown, 25 to 28 minutes. Do not overbake. Cool completely before cutting into bars.

These brownies are the perfect make-ahead dessert. I can make them ahead of time and freeze them. Then, I just thaw them out when I'm ready to serve.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I omitted the Samoa cookies from the recipe. The brownies were still delicious.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my brownies didn't turn out. They were too dense and didn't have much flavor.

These brownies were a bit dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some extra butter or oil next time.

I had some trouble finding Samoa cookies, so I used crushed graham crackers instead. The brownies still turned out great.

These brownies were a little too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I think I'll try making them with less sugar next time.
