Ingredients
- Preparation spray
- Base and Topping:
- 2 ½ cups of traditional rolled oats
- ¾ cup of multipurpose flour
- ¾ cup of firmly packed brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon of baking soda
- ¾ cup of melted unsalted butter
- 3 cookies with caramel and toasted coconut (like Girl Scout Samoas®)
- Brownie Layer:
- ½ cup of unsalted butter
- 2 bars (4 ounces each) of premium dark chocolate, chopped
- ¾ cup of firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup of multipurpose flour
- 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- ¼ teaspoon of baking powder
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and preparing an 8x8-inch baking pan with a light mist of cooking spray for a non-stick finish.
Step 2
In a spacious bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, and baking soda, then blend in the melted butter until a cohesive mixture forms. Set aside a portion of this oat mixture in another bowl and mix in the finely chopped cookies to create a flavorful topping. Take the remaining oat mixture and press it evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
Step 3
Bake the oat base in the preheated oven for approximately 10 minutes, or until it is firm to the touch. Allow it to cool for about 5 minutes.
Step 4
While the base is cooling, gently melt butter along with half of the dark chocolate in a sturdy 1 1/2-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring until it becomes a smooth, velvety mixture. Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool to lukewarm.
Step 5
Into the chocolate mixture, stir in brown sugar and vanilla until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is thoroughly integrated before adding the next, until the mixture achieves a glossy, smooth texture.
Step 6
Combine flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder in a separate bowl, then fold this dry mixture into the chocolate batter. Mix in the remaining dark chocolate chunks. Spread this luscious brownie batter over the baked oat base and sprinkle the reserved oat topping over it.
Step 7
Bake until the center is set and the topping turns a lovely golden brown, typically around 25 to 28 minutes. It's crucial not to overbake for the best texture. Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting them into neat squares for serving.
