"These are cake-like brownies, very moist and EASY to make. The oatmeal gives them an interesting texture and adds a bit of fiber, too. I like to serve them with chocolate chip mint ice cream."

Delicious! I like cake-like brownies and these were very good. I did as Barb suggested and served it with Mint Ice Cream. Yum! -
I didn't like the texture of these at all. I found that they were really, really chewy. :(

My husband and I moved to Tennessee from Pennsylvania in 2005. We absolutely love it here, especially being near the Smoky Mountains. My kids are grown and are out of the house. I am a nurse practitioner, work for Evercare, a division of United Healthcare, caring for elderly patients in nursing homes. My husband and I love the outdoors, and we especially enjoy hiking in the Smoky Mountains. I also enjoy doing Jazzercise as often as I can get there. We have 2 spoiled rotten kitties, Elizabeth and Harvey, and an equally spoiled rotten yellow lab, Hayley.
