    6       oz           Pkg. semisweet chocolate
                         -chips -- about 1 cup
      1/3   c            Butter or margarine
    1       c            Quick-cooking rolled oats
      1/4   c            Wheat germ
      1/3   c            Nonfat dry milk
      1/2   ts           Baking powder
      1/4   ts            -- salt, if desired
      1/2   c            Walnuts -- chopped
    2                    Eggs
      1/4   c            Brown sugar -- packed
    2       tb           White sugar
    1       t            Vanilla
 
   In the top of a double boiler or in a small heavy
   saucepan over very low heat, melt the chocolate chips
   and the butter or margarine. Remove the pan from the
   heat, and stir the mixture until it is smooth.  Set it
   aside.
   
   In a medium bowl, combine the oats, wheat germ, dry
   milk, baking powder, salt, and nuts.  Set the mixture
   aside.
   
   In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, and mix in the
   brown and white sugars and the vanilla until the
   mixture is thick.  Stir in the melted-chocolate
   mixture.  Fold in the oats mixture until it is just
   blended.  Pour the batter in a greased 8-inch square
   baking pan.
   
   Bake the brownies in a preheated 350 degree oven for
   20 to 25 minutes or until the top is crisp but a
   toothpick inserted in the center of the pan comes out
   slightly moist.  Set the pan on a rack to cool
   completely before cutting the cake into 5 strips in
   each direction.
