Ingredients

cooking spray
1 cup butter
4 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate
2 cups white sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 pinch salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts
2/3 cup oats

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2 Melt butter and unsweetened chocolate together in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching. Remove from heat and pour chocolate mixture into a bowl.
3 Mix sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract into chocolate mixture using a fork. Stir flour and salt into chocolate mixture until batter is smooth; fold in chocolate chips, walnuts, and oats. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until brownies are beginning to pull away from sides and middle is done, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool before cutting.
