Chunky Chocolate Blonde Brownies

A great combination -- oats and blondies and chunks of chocolate. An easy treat that a young cook can make on a rainy day.

Recipe Ingredients:

1 1/4 cups butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 2/3 cups QUAKER OATS® (quick or old fashioned, uncooked)
1 (11.5-ounce) package NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chunks - divided use

Cooking Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Beat butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in large bowl on medium speed until creamy. Add egg and vanilla extract; beat well. Add combined flour, baking soda and salt; beat on low speed just until blended. Stir in oats and 1 cup chunks. Spread dough evenly onto bottom of ungreased 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
