good for you brownies

I found this recipe awhile ago - just tried it again, made a few changes and it turned out great!! These are not sweet, dessert type brownies, more like chocolate flavored bars - at least sounds healthier to call them that!!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup dry milk powder
1/4 cup wheat germ
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 - 1 cup walnuts or other
nuts

Directions:
Heat oven to 350. Grease 9 x 13 baking dish or pan.

In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla till light and fluffy. Blend in cocoa and milk.

Stir together flour, milk powder, wheat germ, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to butter mixture, beating until well blended. Stir in nuts, then spread batter evenly into pan.

Bake 25-30 minutes or until bars begin to pull away from sides of pan. Cool completely, then cut into bars.
