(Yield: about 2 dozen squares)
I usually substitute chocolate chips instead of the pecans in this recipe!
1½ cups quick-cooking rolled oats
1¼ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. baking soda
½ cup butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 can (300 ml) sweetened condensed milk
½ cup cocoa
½ cup chopped pecans
2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
Stir together oats, flour salt and baking soda.
Cream butter then gradually beat in sugar.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Add dry ingredients and mix until combined.
In a small bowl, gradually stir condensed milk into cocoa.
Stir in nuts and vanilla.
Spread two-thirds of the oat mixture in bottom of an ungreased 9-inch square cake pan.
Pour cocoa mixture on top.
Drop small spoonfuls of remaining oat mixture over all.
Bake in preheated 350˚F oven 40-45 minutes.
Cool and cut into squares.
