1 3/4 cup boiling water
1 cup uncooked instant oatmeal
Let stand for 10 minutes
Add:
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine (softened) or applesauce
2 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 3/4 cup flour (half whole wheat, half regular)
1 tsp. soda
1/3 cup cocoa
Add:
1 cup chocolate chips to batter. (I use a mix of milk chocolate and semi-sweet)
Mix well. Grease & flour a 9x13 pan. Pour batter in.
On top, sprinkle 1/2 cup brown sugar, another cup of chocolate chips, and a handful of Heath English Toffee Bits. (You can also add 3/4 cup chopped pecans, if desired).
Bake at 350 for 37-40 minutes.
If using applesauce instead of butter, for 16 servings: 233 calories, 1.9g fiber, 3.8g fat, 3.8g protein, 47.2 carbs. High in sugar, but low in calories.
My Aunt Melanie's recipe. She calls it colon-cleansing cake! :)
