Starbucks Oat Bars
Description
This recipe uses quick oats, half ground to a flour-like consistency in a food processor, while the rest remain whole, yielding a balanced texture in the bars. The oat mixture is combined with a melted blend of unsalted butter, brown sugar, and maple syrup whisked together with almond milk and vanilla extract to add moisture and sweetness.
Baking at 325°F until slightly golden, the bars develop a chewy yet tender bite with a subtle maple flavor. Once cooled in the pan, they're sliced into sixteen bars suitable for snacks or breakfasts.
The bars keep well refrigerated for up to five days and can be frozen for longer storage. Freezing individually wrapped bars prevents sticking and allows convenient thawing. This oat bar offers a wholesome alternative to packaged snacks with familiar flavors.
Ingredients
- 3 ¾ cups quick oats
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup butter unsalted
- ½ cup light brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup almond milk unsweetened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F and line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a food processor, grind 2 cups of oats until super fine and flour-like. Add to a large bowl and stir in the remaining 1¾ cups oats and salt. Mix to combine.
- Melt the butter, brown sugar, and maple over medium heat in a small saucepan until the butter is completely melted and the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and whisk in the almond milk and vanilla extract. Let cool slightly.
- Pour the butter mixture into the oat mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until combined. Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan and press the oats into the pan evenly.
- Bake until slightly golden brown, 15-20 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan and then slice into 16 bars.
Notes
- Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Freeze bars wrapped individually or in a container for up to 2 months.
- Thaw frozen bars in the fridge or at room temperature before serving.
