Recipe #2: Oatmeal Brownie Squares

This was from the Quaker oatmeal container-looking for something easy to make for my daughter’s boyfriend’s birthday.  While this does contain some wheat flour, it is very little in your overall serving.  After 10+ years of dealing with SIBO, I have found that I typically feel ok with 1 serving of wheat per day.  We served this to the family with assorted ice cream flavors.  This was very different type of bar/brownie.  Made 6/3/2017

1/14 c Quaker Oats (used quick but old-fashioned would work too)
1/2 cup butter, melted

1/4 c cocoa

1/2 cup sugar

1 egg

1 tsp real vanilla

1/3 cup all purpose flour

Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray an 8″ square pan with cooking spray.  Place oats in blender or food processor.  I have a Ninja that is wonderful for this!  Blend for about 1 minute, stopping occasionally to stir.  Set oats aside.   Combine butter and cocoa.  Add sugar, egg and vanilla.  Mix well.  Stir in oat flour and remaining ingredients; pour into prepared pan.  Bake 15 minutes for chewy brownies, 17 minutes for more cake-like brownies.  Cool.  Cut into 2-inch squares.
