Gluten-Free Oatmeal Chip Bars
With two busy boys who would rather move around than sit and eat, I needed a gluten-free, hearty, hand-held treat that could double as a quick breakfast, brunch, lunch or snack. This is a favorite of theirs, and I can change it up to accommodate ingredients I have on hand. —Susan James, Cokato, Minnesota

Reviews
Very good and very easy. Perfect snack to take with us on racing weekends. We are not a gluten-free family and still thought this was a great recipe!
What could I use instead of bananas or applesauce?
Edible, but not tasty with all the good stuff you have to put in it
This makes a very good bar. I cut the recipe in half and followed it exactly. I'm going to make another batch of these bars soon and will add a little vanilla as suggested by another reviewer. I may also add some dried cranberries. Thanks for a yummy treat!
I thought it needed vanilla. I halved the recipe and put in a 9x13 and used peanut butter/choc chips but still thought it needed vanilla.
n answer to the gluten free oatmeal..most stores have a gluten free section ( except Walmart--Kroger is excellent) Gluten free oatmeal is like any other oatmeal only NOT processed in a plant that processes wheat products, most regular oatmeal is...just read the ingredients, it will say if it is.

I'm curious about where to find gluten free oats. It's my understanding that oats are not appropriate for those with celiac disease. Can someone please clarify? This recipe sounds excellent and I'd love to give it a try.
