    List of Ingredients




    1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
    1/2 cup packed brown sugar
    1/4 teaspoon baking soda
    1/2 cup butter, melted
    1 egg
    3/4 cup granulated sugar
    2/3 cup all-purpose flour
    1/4 cup milk
    1/4 cup butter, melted
    1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    1/4 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 cup chopped walnuts
    1 ounce unsweetened chocolate
    2 tablespoons butter
    1-1/2 cups sifted powdered sugar
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla
    Walnut halves (optional)

    Recipe




    1. For bottom layer, stir together oats, the 1/2 cup flour, the brown sugar, and baking soda. Stir in the 1/2 cup melted butter. Pat mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 11x7x1-1/2-inch baking pan. Bake in a 350 degree F. oven for 10 minutes.

    2. Meanwhile, for middle layer, stir together egg, granulated sugar, the 2/3 cup flour, the milk, the 1/4 cup melted butter, 1 ounce melted chocolate, the 1 teaspoon vanilla, and the baking powder until smooth. Fold in chopped walnuts. Spread batter over baked layer in pan. Bake about 25 minutes more or until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Set on a wire rack while preparing top layer.

    3. For top layer, in a medium saucepan heat and stir 1 ounce chocolate and the 2 tablespoons butter until melted. Stir in the powdered sugar and the 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Stir in enough hot water (1 to 2 tablespoons) to make a mixture that is almost pourable. Spread over brownies. If desired, garnish with walnut halves. Cool completely on wire rack. Cut into bars. Makes 32 brownies.

    Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare and bake brownies as directed. Frost and cool. Cover and store at room temperature for up to 1 day.
