Starbucks Copycat Oat Bars Gluten Free Recipes

STARBUCKS OAT BARS

Steps:

• Preheat 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, rotating halfway through, 20 minutes. Let cool and then slice into bars.

STARBUCK'S COPYCAT OAT BARS (GLUTEN FREE)

Steps:

• Grind 1/2 of the oats in a blender to a fine grind. Grind the other half of the oats to a coarse grind. I use large flake oats. Use certified gluten free if gluten is an issue.
• Add salt and cinnamon. Combine well and set aside.
• In a pot, place the remaining ingredients except the vanilla. Use coconut oil if you need to make this vegan friendly.
• Bring to a boil and then simmer for 2 1/2 minutes.
• Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
• Add the warm mixture to the dry and mix well.
• Firmly press the mixture into a 7x13 pan sprayed with cooking spray.
• Cool in the fridge for 1/2 hour or more.
• Cut into 16 squares.
• Store in the freezer for several weeks (if you manage to not eat them all)!

GLUTEN-FREE OAT FUDGE BARS (STARBUCKS COPYCAT)

Steps:

• For base/topping, cream butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
• Mix flour, soda, cinnamon, and oats and add slowly to creamed mixture.
• Spread 2/3 of this into 9x13 pan (it will be a bit thin).
• For fudge filling, melt remaining ingredients in a saucepan and pour over dough in pan.
• Shape the remaining dough into circles and press them into the fudge.
• Bake at 350° for 25 minutes, or until topping is lightly browned.
• Let cool quite a bit before cutting into bars, as it will result in a delicious gooey mess!
• Enjoy!
