Gluten Free Oatmeal Breakfast Bars

… and it has been glorious BUT let’s be real. Consuming 3-4 cups of coffee a day is probably not the healthiest thing…

Gluten Free Oatmeal Breakfast Bars

I started researching some healthy and ‘on the go’ recipes that I could incorporate into my routine and still do what I need to do. I’m still looking for the perfect Gluten-Free Blueberry Muffin recipe (if you have one, please share!) but I came across these yummy-looking Oatmeal Breakfast Bars and decided to give them a try with my own twist to them!

Y’all, they’re so good! That little hint of cinnamon with your coffee will give you LIFE.

• 1 1/4 cups boiling water
• 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
• 1/2 cup butter (softened)
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar (packed firmly)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups gluten-free flour (sifted)
• 1 teaspoon club soda
• 1/2 a teaspoon salt
• 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

How to Make Oatmeal Breakfast Bars

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9 x 13 baking pan.
• Pour the boiling water over the oats and cover. Let the mixture sit for about 20 minutes.
• Grab the softened butter and beat until it’s creamy. Slowly, add in sugar and brown sugar and mix well.
• Add in vanilla and 2 eggs, and continue mixing. Finally add in oats, flour, soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg and mix well.
• Pour batter into baking pan and bake for 40 minutes, or until baked through.
• EAT THEM!

Haute Tip:

Cut them up and store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days (though I doubt they’ll last that long).

Want to jazz them up? Add some Dairy-Free Chocolate Chips or even some dried fruit!
