Gluten-Free Oatmeal Chip Bars

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 20 min. + cooling YIELD: 3 dozen.
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
