Oat Chocolate Brownies

I realize that everyone was hoping for a clever recipe for Red, White, and Blue Cornish Game Hens or something with the ensuing holiday coming (maybe next year) but I've elected to whip up a batch of brownies instead.

Just as a note, this is still very much in the beta phase. Yes, I think it tastes good, but I still have some tweaking to do before it's really ready.

Ingredients:
1 ½ cups oatmeal
1 cup flour (may vary depending on altitude)
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 cup sugar
½ cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 eggs

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix all dry ingredients then stir in wet ingredients until mixture is well mixed. Mixture should be thick. Put into an 8x8 baking pan and tamp it down. Put in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Let cool and serve.
