Milly's Oatmeal Brownies Recipe

Even though in the recipe I say to add your choice of ingredients... (choc chips, nuts, raisins, toffee bits, etc.) the truth is that I personally prefer them with NOTHING. I love to eat them in the morning with a nice cup of creamy latte or cappuccino. That way I can enjoy the flavor of the oatmeal.... YUMMMM I am very happy you are enjoying my recipe and thanks to everyone for posting a review!!!

I successfully made a half recipe using an 8x8 glass pan brushed with avocado oil. Quite literally halved all ingredients, weighing everything with a digital scale. Our mix-ins were butterscotch chips and dried cranberries. I was very lazy and made this as a one-bowl recipe. I melted the butter in the microwave with the sugars, then followed the rest of the directions. The only thing I might change would be to spin the oats in a blender or food processor just a bit so the bite would not be as “rustic” if you get my meaning ;)

Delicious & easy to make. Took longer to cook than described. 35 min at 350 & then I turned off the oven & left in another 7 min. Still a tiny bit gooey but they set up with time. I added 3/4 c each of dark cc & dried cherries, & about 1/2 c chopped walnuts & 1 tsp cinnamon. As another review stated, these are almost cobbler-like & would be divine warm w vanilla ice cream. Will definitely make again. Thank you for the recipe!

five stars for a snap to prepare, with endless possibilities of add-ins. tasty, moist and delicious. used almonds, walnuts, butterscotch, chocolate, and white chocolate chips, and a tsp of espresso powder. 25 min in oven was perfect. these could be made for a last-minute function. I did not bother grease/flour the pan; just spayed it with regular cooking spray. No stick. Used the old fashioned rolled outs out of preference. I have a couple of apples I want to use up; think I will make this with nuts, apples, and some cinnamon next time.

Great recipe!! I used chopped walnuts and raisins as my "mix-ins", between 1/2 cup and 3/4 cup each. I also combined the dry ingredients first before mixing into the wet ingredients. This includes tossing the raisins and walnuts into the dry - it helped separate the raisins (sticky and clumped together coming out of the box). Baked in my edge pan and it was perfection!

Made these for a tailgate— they’re fine. I loooove oatmeal chocolate chip so yummy! Didn’t do the raisins bc it was for a crowd of haters, and also had to forego walnuts due to a friend’s nut allergy, however still pretty yummy! I am a sweet treat lover yet this was still a little too sweet imo. I added some flaky salt on top and that helped w the sweetness. One thing that is super important for anyone attempting this: it takes WAY LONGER to bake. In 20-25 minutes you’ll get a beautiful golden color, but it will be reeeeally underdone. Wiggling like jello when I went to take it out. I ended up having to put them back in with foil on top for an additional 10-15 minutes. Be prepared for 30-35 min bake time!! Otherwise pretty yummy! 7.5/10

Addictive that is all I can say! Made for friends, everyone loved them and asked for the recipe. Make sure that you mix the brown sugar and butter until creamy before adding eggs. I used dark brown sugar because that was all I had. I think that it added some depth to the taste. For add ins, I only used golden raisins and chopped walnuts. About 3/4 cup of each. Next time I will try the chocolate chips and coconut. Any way you make people will love it. They are delicious and easy. Thank you Milly!

Great recipe. I use a trail mix with salted nuts, dried fruit, and chocolate chunks as the mix-in and sprinkle a little coarse salt over the top before they go in the oven.

The key to making these perfect is to have them even thickness and bake correct time. I used parchment lined light-colored Teflon pan and baked about 23 min. I put big dobs of dough into pan and then smoothed with rubber spatula to same thickness. Checked after 20 min and one side was done (then I could see that this was a bit thinner) so I covered that with foil. A few minutes later - checking every minute - they were all done. When finger pressed lightly into top makes no indentation, they are ready, but don't wait any longer. Then cut them up as soon as cool and refrigerate. Otherwise they will dry out. They really are more like breakfast bars, but delicious. I used about 6 oz chocolate chips, but imagine if more fillers are used it would make them drier.

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!

Made these bars today and they are a definite keeper. They turned out like thick, soft and chewy oatmeal cookies; absolutely delicious! I added raisins and chopped dried cherries to my bars for some added flavor along with tsp cinnamon and a 1/2 tsp ground cloves. In addition; I refrigerated the dough for and hour to solidify the butter and I think that it may have helped improve the texture of the bars?? I will certainly be making these again maybe with dates and pecans...mmmm! Thanks for sharing this recipe.

A bit disappointed- I don’t think the brownies were overcooked, but they were a little on the dry side. Came out slightly golden on the edges. Oh well!

I didn't add nuts. I think I could have added more chocolate chips. The texture was nice. The flavor was like an oatmeal cookie, which is what I expected. I'll make these again.

Delicious with mini chocolate chips and walnuts. Added 2-3 Tablespoons of almond butter and 1/4 Cup of flax seeds for crunch and a little bit of healthy.

Quick and easy recipe. Tasty treats for the family.

These Simple Brownie are absolutely amazing! Super easy to make and perfectly fudgy.

The flavor is unreal — can’t believe it.

I reduced the granulated sugar to a 1/4 cup and used KAF white whole wheat flour to make them healthy-ish. Healthy adjacent. Healthy's down the street neighbor.

I made these brownies for a casual dinner at our neighbors’ house. They were a big hit. Their 2-year-old loved them so much he asked for one for breakfast the following morning. Delicious and easy!

Quick, simple, and unbelievably good.
