Think flapjack meets brownie, and yes, they are as good as you might imagine. The oats caramelize and add a crunchy smokiness to the brownies that everyone loves. I am a huge fan of salt and sweet and like to add an extra pinch of sea salt flakes to the crunchy topping and highly recommend you do to if you like sweet and salt.
Heat oven to 170°C / 150°C fan. Line a 8 x 8" tin with parchment paper. Melt the butter and chocolate together in the microwave. Give it 30 second blasts stirring between each until melted. Then set aside to cool slightly.
Using a whisk, whisk in the oil, sugars, eggs and vanilla. Whisk thoroughly until all the ingredients are well combined and you have a thick chocolaty batter.
In another small bowl combine the flour, cocoa and salt. Tip into the chocolaty batter and fold in with a spatula until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared tin. Add the chocolate chips and using the spatula swirl them into and around the batter flattening the top as you do.
Mix together the oats, oil and maple syrup and sprinkle evenly over the top of the brownie. Bake for 26 - 29 minutes in the preheated oven until oats are golden brown and the brownie is cooked but still a little fudgy and soft within. Remember it will cook a little further as it cools.
Makes 9 Brownies.
