Starbucks Oat Fudge Bars (Copycat Recipe) (2024)

An indulgent crumbly, buttery,oatmeal bar made even more luxurious with a thick middle layer of chocolatey fudge! Absolute deliciousness with every bite! Can be made completely gluten-free.

My dear hubby is on a gluten-free diet. He’s been doing this for a long time now because he feels much better with it. He’s not really allergic to wheat, as such, but is gluten-intolerant so when he eats too much of it, he feels lethargic and just not 100% efficient!

Because of this, I try my best to make some gluten-free desserts for him. I feel guilty when he cannot enjoy most of the cakes I make (no matter how scrumptious) because of his low tolerance for anything with flour in it.

Thankfully, I manage to make this gluten-free version of our favorite Starbucks oat fudge bars! The best part is it is equally scrumptious as the all-flour version.

How do you make the Starbucks Oat Fudge Bars gluten-free?

I simply replace the all-purpose flour called for in the recipe with a gluten-free flour mix from Bob’s Red Mill. You can also use your favorite brand of gluten-free flour mix with this.

If you are not allergic to gluten or gluten-intolerant feel free to use your favorite brand of all-purpose flour. I’m just glad that I can make a yummy chocolate-flavored dessert that is perfectly suited to his dietary needs.

While researching the web on how to make this copycat recipe for Starbucks oat fudge bars, I read that these scrumptious bars have been discontinued. I am not 100% sure about this but hey, I’m no longer bothered if it is true because I know I can make a delicious version of it at home!

I know they are delicious because I served these yummy bars at a gathering in our place and got great feedback on them. Some even had second helpings! I admit I did too.

Since an entire 9×13 pan makes about 24 bars, it’s great to serve in a party setting or when you have to entertain a crowd! Because they’re luxuriously rich, you don’t need to slice them into huge pieces!

Can you freeze these Starbucks Oat Fudge Bars?

Yes, you can certainly freeze these. If you have any leftovers or wish to just take out one bar at a time, I suggest cutting them first into individual bars then placing them in a freezer-friendly container separating them each with a layer of parchment paper. That would make it easier to separate them later.
