Oatmeal Wheat Germ Brownies

A brownie recipe with oats and wheat germ.

6 oz. semisweet chocolate chips
1/3 cup butter
1 cup rolled quick-cooking oats
1/4 cup wheat germ
1/3 cup dry milk
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
2 eggs
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
2 tbsp. sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

1. Preheat the over to 350 degrees F.
   
2. Melt the chocolate chips and the butter in the top of a double boiler. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir until smooth. Set aside.
   
3. Combine the oats, wheat germ, dry milk, baking powder, salt, and nuts in a medium size bowl. Set aside.
   
4. Beat the eggs in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the brown and white sugars and the vanilla until thick. Stir in the melted-chocolate mixture. Fold in the oats mixture until just blended.
   
5. Pour the batter into a greased 8-inch square baking pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the top is crisp but a toothpick inserted in the center comes out slightly moist.
   
6. Set the pan on a rack to cool completely before cutting. Yields 25 brownies.
