Chocolate Fudge Power Oatmeal Recipes

OATMEAL FUDGE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine 1 cup butter, brown sugar, white sugar, and eggs in a large bowl; mix until smooth.
• Mix flour, baking soda, and oats together in another bowl. Add to the butter mixture slowly; mix using an electric mixer until combined.
• Spread 3/4 the oat mixture into an ungreased 9x13-inch baking pan using a spatula. Press lightly into the bottom of the pan to make the surface even.
• Combine chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, 1/3 cup butter, and vanilla extract in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir until melted and smooth, about 2 minutes. Pour fudge over the oatmeal base and spread evenly.
• Drop tablespoons of remaining oatmeal mixture over the fudge. Press oatmeal down lightly to flatten and swirl into the fudge.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the top is lightly browned, 25 to 30 minutes; the chocolate should still be moist. Cool completely on a wire rack, about 45 minutes. Cut into squares.

OLD-FASHIONED CHOCOLATE FUDGE

Steps:

• Grease an 8x8 inch square baking pan. Set aside.
• Combine sugar, cocoa and milk in a medium saucepan. Stir to blend, then bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer. Do not stir again.
• Place candy thermometer in pan and cook until temperature reaches 238 degrees F(114 degrees C). If you are not using a thermometer, then cook until a drop of this mixture in a cup of cold water forms a soft ball. Feel the ball with your fingers to make sure it is the right consistency. It should flatten when pressed between your fingers.
• Remove from heat. Add butter or margarine and vanilla extract. Beat with a wooden spoon until the fudge loses its sheen. Do not under beat.
• Pour into prepared pan and let cool. Cut into about 60 squares.

OATMEAL CHOCOLATE FUDGE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Cream butter, sugar and salt in a mixer.
• Add flour and oatmeal, blend until it holds together.
• Heat milk in a pan and add chocolate chips.
• Use low heat and stir until the chips are melted and you have a smooth chocolate cream.
• Using a 9x13 pan, press 3/4 of the dough mixture in the pan, spreading and patting it to cover the whole surface.
• Pour chocolate cream over crust.
• Crumble last bit of dough over the chocolate, creating a third spotty layer.
• Bake for 30 minutes, until lightly browned.
• Cool, cut, transfer to a wax paper lined tray and allow to firm up a bit before serving- I leave them for a few hours and they become fudge-like, but they are still yummy if you eat them sooner than that.
• You can also use a smaller pan- I have used a 10" square and just baked a little longer for a thicker bar, which required a longer cooling time as well.
• Note: removing to the wax paper is necessary-- if you cool them too long in the pan they are hard to remove, as the bottom crust tends to stick to the pan.

CHOCOLATE OATMEAL

Steps:

• Heat milk and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan over medium heat until begining to simmer.
• Reduce heat and add oats, cocoa and sugar.
• Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally until thickened.
• If you want your oatmeal thick or watery, this is where you determine the consistency- don't stop until it's pretty much at the consistency you would like.
• Cover and let sit for about 5 minutes (this cooks the oatmeal more thoroughly).
• Remove cover, stir and serve.
• Garnish with chocolate chips, nuts, and/or fruit if desired.

NO-BAKE BOILED CHOCOLATE FUDGE OATMEAL COOKIES (PEANUT BUTTER OP

Steps:

• Prepare a cooling surface: sanitize and butter a countertop, butter foil, or spread waxpaper.
• In a large saucepan, mix sugar, cocoa, milk and butter.
• Bring to a boil and cook for one minute.
• (You will notice gloss disappear from mixture and slowly start to become more matified, at this point you must work very quickly. If this happens to completely during cooking, you might want to pour mixture into a bread pan and slice and serve like fudge or simply start over. When this occurs while spooning, speed it up!).
• Remove from heat and quickly add oats and vanilla (as well as peanut butter and nuts if desired).
• Drop immediately and rapidly by teaspoonful on waxed paper or buttered countertop.
• Let stand 1/2 hour until cool (if you can). Cookies will set as they cool.

CHOCOLATE FUDGE POWER OATMEAL

Steps:

• Combine oats and flax meal. Add water and stir to combine, using less water for thicker oatmeal and more water for thinner oatmeal.

• Add remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Return to microwave and set timer for 2 minutes. Heat on high stirring every 20-30 seconds until desired consistency is reached. Watch carefully or it might bubble over.
• Sprinkle with cinnamon if desired.
