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.
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!!
