Copycat Starbucks Oat Fudge Bars!
These Oat Fudge Bars are my heathier take on ‘Copycat Starbucks’ Oat Fudge Bars. They feature a soft oat base with rich dark chocolate fudge and topped with dollops of oat topping. These bars are so soft. The fudge topping is rich and velvety and the oat base is slightly flakey.
I have made these bars healthier than the traditional Starbucks version by using wholesome real food ingredients. These bars are naturally vegan, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free.
I love these bars as a quick snack. They satisfy your sweet tooth craving without being overly sugary. If you try out the recipe be sure to tag me and let me know how they turn out!
