Oatmeal Brownies

Remember when I said my mother-in-law brought us some oatmeal brownies and they were a chocolate lover's dream and I would share the recipe because I would be making them soon?

Well, that's all true, except for the last part. I still haven't made them. It's not that I don't want to. I just don't think they'd be a good idea considering my chocolate addiction right now (that I am only halfheartedly trying to kick... probably not going to be too successful, huh?)

Anyways, here is the recipe.

Oatmeal Brownies

1 and 1/2 cups quick oats
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
1/2 tsp. soda
1/2 cup melted butter
1 cup mini M&M's
1 package fudge brownie mix for 9x13 pan

Combine first 7 ingredients. Mix well and set aside 1/2 to 1 cup for topping.
Put remaining mixture into a greased 10 x 15 (???) pan.
Prepare brownie mix according to package instructions. Spread over oatmeal mixture crust.
Sprinkle the rest of the topping over the brownie mix.
Bake @ 350 for 25-30 minutes. Be careful not to overbake. Enjoy!
