Oatmeal Cookie Dough Blonde Brownies

One of my favorite cookie dough to eat is Oatmeal. Probably love the dough more than the cookies... Can you relate? My inspiration for this recipe came because I didn't want a regular chocolate brownie so I created a blonde brownie recipe and used butterscotch chips instead of chocolate chips. Sprinkled the butterscotch chips over the top with a huge drizzle of caramel sauce. Delicious!

As I was making the cookie dough it was a little thin so I added some hearty granola I had gotten from Great Harvest Bread Company in Taylorsville, Utah who had so generously provided it in our Family Forward Weekend Retreat swag bag. It was exactly what the dough needed. Can I say that this stuff was amazing. I sampled a bit before adding it to the dough. Home made granola. I had no idea that they made this. I knew all about their breads but this was a pleasant surprise.

If you ever want a decadent brownie recipe that is out of the normal scope of things both the Oatmeal Cookie Dough Blonde Brownie and the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie should be recipes to keep in your file.
