Microwave Chocolate Oatmeal Cake

Last summer our oven broke and I spent a lot of time looking for microwave recipes. I found this on the web and it is pretty good. Nice and chocolately!

• Ready In: 14 mins
• Serves: 12

Ingredients

• 1  cup  softened butter
• 1 1⁄3 cups  raw oatmeal
• 1⁄2 cup flour
• 1  cup  firmly packed brown sugar
• 1⁄2 cup  chopped  nuts
• 2  eggs
• 1  teaspoon vanilla
• 1 (12 ounce) package chocolate chips

Directions

1. Mix all ingredients but the chocolate chips in a bowl and beat 3 minutes on medium speed.
2. Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips.
3. Spread the batter into an 8 inch glass dish (or other microwave dish).
4. Cover with waxed paper.
5. Microwave at high for 8 to 9 minutes or until the top looks dry.
6. If you don't have a part that rotates the dish then you need to rotate the dish a 1/4 turn after 4 minutes.
7. Take the dish out of the microwave, take off the waxed paper, and sprinkle the rest of the chips on the top of the cake.
8. Let them stand for 5-10 minutes or until they are melted.
9. Spread them over the top of the cake.
10. Let it cool and then cut it into squares.
