"Wholesome Brownies"

Serves: 25
Total Calories: 95

Ingredients

1 (6-ounce) package semi-sweet mini chocolate chips (1 cup)
1/3 cup Parkay Light Margarine , diet
1 cup rolled oats, quick-cooking (scant cup)
1/4 cup wheat germ
1/3 cup dry milk powder, nonfat
1/2 teaspoon baking powder, double-acting
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
2 eggs
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons sugar, white
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

These delicious brownies are courtesy of Jane Brody's Good Food Book. The oats and wheat germ add nutrition and high fiber, which slows down the rise of blood sugar. The sugar content is about 1 teaspoon per brownie. If you have any concern about the sugar content, please consult your dietician or physician.

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF.
2. In the top of a double boiler or in a small heavy saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate chips and the margarine. Remove the pan from the heat and stir the mixture until it is smooth. Set it aside.
3. In a medium bowl, combine the oats, wheat germ, dry milk, baking powder, salt, and nuts. Set the mixture aside.
4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the brown and white sugars and the vanilla until the mixture is thick. Stir in the melted chocolate mixture. Fold in the oats mixture until it is just blended. Pour the batter into a greased 8-inch square baking pan.
5. Bake the brownies for 20-25 minutes or until the top is crisp but a toothpick inserted in the center of the pan comes out slightly moist. Set pan on a rack to cool completely before cutting the brownies into 5 strips in each direction.
