7-Layer Cookie Bar Recipe

This 7-Layer Cookie Bar recipe is perfect for the lunch box or after school snack. What I like most about it is how you can vary the ingredients to make it healthier or cater to various tastes. These are fun and so easy to make. There is no skill required at all, and the great thing is you can use basically any dry toppings to make these, so they are great for a pantry clear out. Just use the right quantities (listed in the recipe card below).

Ingredients

Plain biscuits

Choc chops

Caramilk Chips

Coconut Flakes

Oats or Nuts

Condensed Milk

How to Make Them

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius and line a brownie tray with baking paper.

Process your chosen biscuits. You can use any plain biscuit, even chocolate ones. I use the gluten free Arnott's Scotch Fingers. But if I wasn't making them GF I'd use Nice biscuits.

Melt your butter and then combine it with your biscuit crumbs. Press them into your brownie tin.

Then, layer your ingredients in any order! I did choc chips, Caramilk chips, coconut flakes and then oats.

Once you have layered your dry ingredients, pour your sweetened condensed milk over the top, covering the whole top layer.

Cook for 25-30 minutes (until golden) and then let it cool. Once it's completely cool, slice it up.

Storage

Once baked and cooled, 7-layer bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for several days. They are typically served cut into squares or bar.

Variations

You can replace any of these with other ingredients to suit your preferences. Here are some options: - Chocolate chunks: Add more chocolatey goodness to the bars. - Dried cranberries: Provide a sweet and tangy contrast. - Seeds (e.g., chia, flax, or hemp): Add a nutty flavor and crunchy texture. - Candy pieces (e.g., M&M's or chopped chocolate bars): Introduce colorful fun and flavour. - Choose your preferred replacement and enjoy the 7-layer cookie bars! Just make sure you use the same quantities as I've listed here.

Make it Gluten Free

I made my 7-layer cookie bar recipe gluten free by using gluten free Arnott's Scotch Fingers (1.5 packs). If you are a coeliac and don't eat oats then swap them for nuts or cranberries. My daughter doesn't have an issue with oats so I use them.

Don't forget to try my brownies and caramel slice!
