Treat Yourself! Crispy Nutella Oatmeal Bars
We all need a treat sometimes! Our recipe for Nutella Oatmeal Bars have a layer of gooey Nutella sandwiched in between 2 layers if buttery oatmeal crust. A pan of these won't last long!
I love surprising my kids with an unexpected treat. It doesn’t happen very often, so when my kids came home from school to find a pan of warm, gooey Nutella Oatmeal Bars, they went crazy! Crispy, buttery oatmeal crusts with a layer of creamy, chocolately Nutella in the middle is a snack they have always loved.
When I first created the recipe, I used to make them with jelly in the center (Apricot, Blackberry, Raspberry, etc -see pic below). I would always let them choose the flavor, but my little one (we say he’s our Chick-fil-a & Cheerios kid) had the brilliant idea to make them with Nutella one day. Not surprising since his favorite sandwich is a Grilled Peanut Butter Nutella Sandwich with Bananas. Elvis has nothing on this kid.
Needless to say, my whole family loves these Nutella Oatmeal Bars and I find them irresistible thanks to the touch of Kosher salt. Make a big pan. If your house is anything like mine, they won’t last long!
