Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease or line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Whisk in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition to create a glossy and smooth batter.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix.
Stir in the rolled oats and, if using, the chopped nuts for added texture and crunch.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly underbaked for a fudgy texture. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cut into 12 squares and serve. Enjoy these fudgy oatmeal brownies with a glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
