Oatmeal Brownies

Oatmeal Brownies
1 1/2 cups quick cooking oats (I use old fashioned oats instead)
1 cup M&M miniature baking bits (These rarely go on sale, so it's not often that I add them)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 pkg fudge brownie mix (13x9x2 pan size)

In a bowl, combine the first seven ingredients; mix well. Set aside 1 cup for topping. Pat the remaining mixture into a greased 15x10x1 baking pan OR a 13x9x2 baking dish. Prepare brownie batter according to pkg directions. Spread over the crust. Sprinkle with the reserved oat mixture. Bake @ 350 for 25-30 min. for 15x10x1 OR 28-31 min. or until toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack. Cut into bars. Yield: depends on pan size!
