HOMEMADE GLUTEN FREE & NUT FREE OAT BARS
Equipment
- 8×8 Glass Dish
Ingredients
- 2 cups Organic Gluten Free Oatmeal We use a certified gluten free brand of oats.
- 1/2 cup Organic Gluten Free Ground Oatmeal Flour We grind our certified gluten free oats into an oat flour.
- 1/4 cup Light Brown Sugar Do not pack.
- 1/3 cup Melted Butter OR Olive Oil* for dairy free
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Cinnamon
- Your Choice-Jar of Preserves(We use Strawberry, Apricots)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Combine all ingredients (except the preserves) together until crumbly and well mixed(if it is too dry, add an additional tsp of olive oil).
- Press half of the mixture into a greased 8×8 glass baking dish.
- Spoon teaspoon dollops of your favorite preserves over the top. (I stagger as it will slightly spread out when cooking) Remember preserves are generally pretty sweet, so you may want to err on the sparring side.
- Take the remainder of the oat mixture and sprinkle over the top covering all areas like a crumble.
- Lightly press down, then bake for 20-25 minutes until you see the preserves bubbling and the oat mixture lightly brown.
- Take out of oven and allow to cool/slice (for me usually about 20 minutes) Store tightly covered. These also store great in the freezer. Enjoy!
