It is no secret that I like Nutella. I made my own, turned it into cupcakes, made ice cream…I love the stuff! I have been thinking about making no bake cookies with Nutella for awhile. But then I ran out of the homemade stuff. Now that school is starting though, I need to have cookies in the freezer for my son to take in his lunch. Well, I don’t have to, but I like to put a little treat in his lunch for him. No bake cookies are one of his favorite, the freeze well, and come together in about 10 minutes. So they are a win all around in my book.
I just took my recipe for No Bake Cookies, and substituted some Nutella. I was lazy, and in a hurry, so I just poured the batter into a pan to make bars. You could make them like normal cookies as well. The bars were just so easy! I took them on a picnic we had with friends the other day and they were a huge hit. From age 2 up to the adults they were loved!
- 2 cups Sugar
- 4 Tbls Cocoa
- 1 stick Butter
- ½ cup Milk
- ½ cup Nutella
- 1 Tbls Vanilla
- 2½ cups Oatmeal
- In a heavy saucepan, bring the sugar, cocoa, butter and milk to a boil. Boil for 1 minute. Then add in Nutella, vanilla, and oatmeal. Pour mixture into an 8×8 pan, or drop by the spoonful onto a lined cookie sheet. Put in fridge to harden.
- I think they are best eaten cold, so I always keep mine in the fridge. Enjoy!

This looks great! Thanks so much for the idea…and the Sugar Rush!

Thanks for this post. I made them today and cut them into tiny squares. They’re for a bridal shower, so I put them in white mini cupcake liners. They look like little fudge squares. Love the recipe, thank you!
So glad you liked them! Sounds like a cute presentation for a shower!
Can I substitute something for the butter?
I am not sure what would work. Maybe coconut oil would work. You need something that when it cools it becomes a solid again. Let me know if you try something and it works!
I did make it and it sat in the fridge overnight but it didnt get hard. I followed the recipe exactly, what did I do wrong?
If you don’t let it boil for the full 1 minute, it will not set up. Hopefully that was your problem.
Thats what happened, so now what do I do, it still kinda mushy….:(
Did you use something other than butter? I use the same recipe to make no bake cookies (skip the Nutella), probably once every couple months, and have never had a problem. Do you live at elevation? The boiling point is lower the higher you live, so that can effect it some. But mine have always firmed up
Wish I had an idea.
Hi Erin
Does your version just omit the Nutella altogether or substitute something for it? Thanks
This recipe uses Nutella. No bake cookies traditionally have peanut butter, so for these bars I used Nutella in place of the peanut butter.
Not sure what to do with the mixture, dnt want to throw it out or waste it…
Ooh, Ooh, I know what to do! Freeze it and then break it up over top of some scoops of vanilla ice cream! OR…..you could melt it a bit in the microwave and pour it over said ice cream. Yum.
Awesome suggestion! Or just eat it with spoons
Hi.how long it takes after i mix nutella vanilla and oatmeal?i mean cooking minutes after putting allthose
Just until all mixed together – about a minute to get everything coated.
Hi..i made it..but may i know the consistency looks like? Coz when im done mixing all ingredients..its getting hard so fast.stick to each other quickly us that what seems to be?
It does solidify kind of quickly, but if it really hard than you might have boiled it for just a little bit too long.
Could i use coconut milk (not water) to substitute for the milk? i have a milk intolerance.
thank you! looks awesome!!!
I think so, I think it would change the taste slightly. Otherwise I am sure almond or soy milk would work too. Enjoy!
Thanks! i don’t mind a taste change, i can’t use almond or soy either. i’m used to the coconut… that’s awesome!
I have to tell you… We are on a Nutella kick right now, so these were perfect! I actually put them straight in the freezer and that helped us not eat them right away!! Thank you, they are perfect!
Thank you! So glad you liked them!

Hi
Please tell me how much (in grams or ounces) ‘a stick’ of butter is. We don’t have our butter packaged like that here (South Africa). Thanks
1 stick of butter = 113 grams
Thanks, Erin!
These are gluten-free correct? What kind of oatmeal did you use? I found rolled oats which I think are the same thing?
Rolled Oats will work perfectly! I believe some oats have gluten, so you will just want to check those. But yes, I believe they are gluten free!
ALSO THESE kind is delicious endeed blessing simmy
