Oatmeal Fudge Bars are a delicious combination of an oatmeal cookie with a fudgy center. This will quickly become a family favorite.

Oatmeal Fudge Bars are truly chewy, fudgy cookie goodness. I have a serious sweet tooth especially anything that involves chocolate like chocolate cherry cake or chocolate chip bundt cake.

Ingredients Needed: Oatmeal, flour, sugar, chocolate chips, brown sugar, butter, eggs, baking soda, vanilla and salt. 

How to make oatmeal fudge bars

  • Start by preheating your oven. 
  • Combine brown sugar and butter in a mixing bowl.
  • Mix in eggs and vanilla.
  • Stir in flour, baking soda and salt.
  • Next, fold in the oatmeal to the mixture. 
  • Spread 2/3 of the batter in a brownie pan. I like to line the pan with parchment paper so once the bars have cooled, you can easily lift them out and cut.

Steps to make oatmeal bars

The Fudge

  • To make the delicious chocolate center, add all of the fudge ingredients into a saucepan and cook until the chocolate has melted. Spread the mixture over the cookie batter in the pan. 
  • Drop the remaining batter on top of the chocolate and bake for 25-30 minutes. 

Make sure you let them cool before cutting into squares.

Tips for making oatmeal bars

  • You can use quick or old fashioned oats for these bars but don’t use instant oatmeal. The instant oatmeal is too fine and doesn’t work well for baking.
  • Line baking dish with either parchment paper or foil to make it easy to remove the bars and cut once they have cooled.
  • Be sure to not over mix the cookie dough. 

These bars are AHmazing and I will be making them again very soon. Enjoy!!

    The best part about healthy dessert recipes, like these whole wheat oatmeal fudge bars, is that they still taste decadent and comforting, and my kids don t know the difference.
