How to Make Fudgy Oatmeal Wheat Germ Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8x2 inch baking pan.
  2. In a small, heavy saucepan or double boiler, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips over very low heat, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from heat.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups rolled oats, ½ cup wheat germ, ½ cup nonfat dry milk powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  4. In a separate large bowl, beat 2 large eggs until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in 1 cup granulated sugar and ½ cup packed brown sugar until the mixture is thick and pale.
  5. Stir in the melted chocolate mixture.
  6. Gently fold in the oat mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not completely clean). The top should be set and the edges firm.
  9. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before covering with foil and refrigerating overnight. This allows them to firm up and intensify the flavors.
  10. Cut into squares and enjoy!
