Nutella? Cookie Butter? Why not both?! They are a delicious match made in dessert heaven. I thought about what could make breakfast even sweeter. The answer Nutella Cookie Butter Oatmeal Bars. Each oatmeal bar is stuffed with Nutella and cookie butter.

I'm a big fan of both Nutella and Cookie Butter. It might be obvious by how many recipes I make with them. Food Processor Banana Nutella Bread and Chocolate Chunk Cookie Butter Bars just to name a few. These Nutella Cookie Butter Oatmeal Bars are the best of both worlds. They taste like a stuffed oatmeal cookie sandwich! They are perfect for breakfast or dessert or when you are craving something extra sweet.

Ingredients

Nutella Cookie Butter Oatmeal Bars Ingredients divided into bowls, the oats, all purpose flour, melted butter divided in white bowls, nutella and cookie butter divided into small wood bowls and vanilla extra in a bottle off to the bottom left side
  • All Purpose Flour
  • Old Fashioned Oats
  • Baking soda
  • Unsalted Butter, melted
  • Brown Sugar, packed
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Salt
  • Nutella
  • Cookie Butter

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x9 pan with foil or parchment paper (leaving overhang on two sides for easy removal). Spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, add melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla and whisk until well combined.
  3. Add flour, oats, salt, and baking soda to the butter and brown sugar mixture.
  4. Stir mixture together with a spatula or wooden spoon until combined.
  1. Dump a little more than half of the dough into the prepared pan and press it down into an even flat layer.
  2. Bake for 12 minutes.
  3. Remove from the oven and drop Nutella and cookie butter sporadically onto the hot bars.
  4. Spread over the base evenly with an offset spatula or spoon.
  1. Take the rest of the dough and crumble it over the top.
  2. Return back to the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes until the topping becomes a light golden brown. Let cool to room temperature.
  3. (Optional) Drizzle dark chocolate on top
  4. Slice and serve. If you slice before they are cool they will fall apart from being too soft.

Recipe Notes

  • You can store these leftover bars at room temperature.
  • Looking for clean cuts? Chill them before in the fridge or freeze and then run a sharp knife under hot water and slice.
  • Make sure to really press the bottom layer into the pan. This will keep it from crumbling apart when cutting the bars up. The top layer does not need to be pressed down though.
