These brownies are delicious (and also dangerously addictive!). Whenever I'm asked to bake brownies for an event, these are the ones I make. The recipe is adapted from the Junior League Cookbook.
Ingredients:
Oatmeal Layer
½ cup all-purpose
flour
1 cup rolled
oats
½ cup packed
brown sugar
8 tablespoons regular
salted butter (1 stick), melted
Brownie Layer
7 T butter
2 oz unsweetened
chocolate
2 eggs
2/3 c sugar
¼ t salt
(or to taste…I sometimes leave it out)
2 t vanilla
extract
¾ c all-purpose
flour (can also experiment with spelt or whole wheat pastry flour)
Icing
1 ¾ c powdered
sugar
4 T butter,
softened
2 T milk,
cream, or half and half
1 t vanilla
extract
To make:
For the oatmeal layer: Preheat oven to 350. Grease a
9-inch square baking pan. Mix flour, sugar, oats, and brown sugar. Add melted
butter and stir until well incorporated. Press mixture evenly into the bottom
of the pan. Bake for about 10 minutes, until golden brown. (Remember this layer
will be cooked again, so it should not be completely “done” when you take it
out.) Prepare brownie layer while oatmeal layer is baking.
For the brownie layer: Melt the butter and chocolate
together over low heat or in a microwave and cool. Beat the eggs in a mixing
bowl and stir in the sugar, salt, and vanilla. Add the chocolate mixture and
flour. Spread brownie mixture over the baked oatmeal layer and bake for 25
minutes. Remove from the oven and cool in the pan.
Combine the sugar, butter, milk, and vanilla and beat
until smooth and creamy. Ice the brownies after they have cooled.
