The recipe for Chocolate Oatmeal Brownies was easily the best brownie recipe I've ever made... Yes, I am a semi-professional baker, but for some reason, brownies have been my baking downfall. Ever since I messed up the salt-sugar ratio in some brownies when I was 12-- just ask my brother about those salty brownies.

I tend to resort to the truffle brownie mix from Trader Joe's. I can safely say that I will be making homemade brownies more often because of this book.
