Easy Nutella Bars
Report
These Nutella bars are an easy dessert made with a chewy oatmeal cookie bar base, with a creamy filling, then finished with a crumbly crust!

Ingredients
- ¾ cup Nutella
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¾ cup butter melted
- ¾ cup brown sugar (lightly packed)
- 1 cup rolled oats (not instant) (if the oats are large, place them in a food processor and pulse a few times to break them up, but be careful they don't turn to powder)
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 pinch salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1¼ - 1½ cups mini dark / semi sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C), grease and flour or line an 8 inch (20 cm) square cake pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl add the melted butter, brown sugar, rolled oats, flour, salt and baking soda, mix well.
- Place half the mixture, I used a little more than half on the bottom of the prepared cake pan and bake for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile in a small pot add the Nutella and cream, over low heat whisk constantly until smooth. Set aside.
- Remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle with chocolate chips, spread the Nutella Cream mixture and then sprinkle with remaining dough. Bake 15-20 minutes or until edges are slightly browned. Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature, the cover with foil and refrigerate for approximately 2 hours or even overnight. Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy!
Notes
- For these Nutella oatmeal bars, it is best to use old-fashioned rolled oats. Not instant oats or quick oats. In Italy, rolled oats are quite large in size, so if that is your case as well, pulse a few times in the food process to obtain the best texture.
- After the Nutella bars have cooled completely, run a sharp knife under hot water then wipe dry. In between cuts of the bars, wipe the knife clean. This will give you cut bars that are perfect squares!
- Absolutely, you can add nuts like walnuts or almonds, or dried fruits like cranberries for extra texture and flavor.
- After cooling completely, store the Nutella bars in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3-4 days.
- Store bars whole or cut into squares in a freezer safe container for up to 4 months. I like to wrap pieces individually in plastic wrap so I can thaw them one at a time for a quick treat.
