These delightful, chewy ‘brownies’ would be chocolate-based, but they are made with oatmeal instead. Create a genuinely tasty snack by including your favorites (nuts, chocolate chips, chocolate candies, and toffee chips).

Reviews
Delicious but needs more time in the oven.
They are excellent!!! Here is how I adjusted the recipe to make it even healthier and it worked great: 1) cut brown and white sugar in half, 2) doubled chocolate chips (used only semi-sweet) and raisins, 3) added cinnamon and coconut, and 4) eliminated salt. Thanks!
I used 1/2 c butter and 1/2 c coconut oil. Also used 1 cup chocolate chips and 1/2 cup dried cranberries. Was amazing!
These were so good! The batter is very thick and a little bit difficulty to spread. However, the brownies turned out soft with chewy edges. I added chocolate chips to the top, not stirred into the batter. Next time, I may add nuts. I think these would also be good with just some cinnamon in the batter.
These are delicious bars. I did add some butterscotch chips I had. The only feedback I have is that I baked these for 25 min as they were brown on the top. They were too soft and difficult to remove from the pan. Next time I plan to bake them an additional 10 minutes.
It was great. I added a bit of cinnamon, because I put cinnamon in most of my baking.
Quick and easy.
Yum yummy and yummiest
There are not many recipes I would describe as “perfect,” but this is one of them. They were like the best oatmeal cookies I had ever had, but more moist (which I love.) I used raisins (half normal, half golden), chopped walnuts, and chocolate chips (half semi sweet, half milk chocolate.) I followed the recipe exactly other than my pan being 9.5 by 13.5 since for some reason I do not have a 9 by 13. I will definitely be making them again! My parents thought they were too sweet, but I disagree. 🙂
Wonderful recipe I have already made it twice in one week, my family loves them.
I’ve made this recipe several times now and each time it turns out delicious. They’re gone as fast as I make them. Love, love, love this recipe! It doesn’t matter if you add extra ingredients or not, these brownies come in 1st place.
I used butterscotch morsels (11 oz) and no raisins. They were so yummy.
Easy to throw together. I used chocolate chips, pecans and caramel bits and didn’t take long for them to disappear.
I made these twice with pecans only. They are delicious. Will add raisins to the next batch.
Once in awhile I can find cinnamon chips at Walmart. That’s my favorite thing to add to these cookies. No matter what you add or nothing at all, these are always wonderful.
So good, sometimes you’re not in a fudgy mood, and in that case, these are it!
This was easy to make, but I didn’t think it was very flavorful, and called for a little too much vanilla.
Everyone loved this oatmeal brownie, will for sure make it again!
What a great recipe just as written! I halved it for a 8×8 pan. While it may not remind some people of classic chocolate brownies, it does have that gooey chewy texture of blonde brownies. I prefer this to even the best blonde brownie recipe as it has a nicer texture with the nuts, raisins and chips, with the added nutrition and fibre of rolled oats. These really satisfy my sweet tooth
I omitted the raisins and just added a mixture of chocolate chips, Heath chips, and walnuts. Take out after 20 minutes. They look like they could use more time in the oven but once they are cooled, you will appreciate how soft they are.
Love this recipe! I made it with toffee bits and coconut! I did cook it longer than specified! Adding to my favorites!
