Delight in these easy-to-make chocolate hazelnut oat bars, perfect for a quick, wholesome snack with rich flavors and crunchy texture.
Ingredients
Dry ingredients
- 2 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats (provides hearty texture and keeps these bars wholesome)
- 1 cup All-purpose flour (helps bind the bars together with a tender bite)
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar (adds natural sweetness and moisture to balance the oats)
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder (ensures a light, slightly fluffy structure)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt (enhances the depth of flavors without overpowering)
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melts into the oats for a rich, buttery crunch)
- 0.33 cup Honey or maple syrup (natural sweeteners that add stickiness and depth)
- 1 cup Chocolate hazelnut spread (like Nutella, giving that luscious, nutty chocolate flavor)
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream or milk (thins out the spread slightly for easier swirling)
- 0.5 cup Toasted hazelnuts (crushed or chopped for that signature crunchy texture and nutty aroma)
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional sprinkled on top for extra bursts of chocolate goodness)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
- In a saucepan, melt butter and stir in honey or maple syrup. Combine with dry ingredients.
- Press the mixture into a lined baking pan. Warm the hazelnut spread with cream and swirl over the base.
- Sprinkle toasted hazelnuts and chocolate chips on top. Bake for 20 minutes until golden.
