Strawberry Oatmeal Bars
There are many recipes available for oatmeal bars. But there aren’t many that are truly healthy, boasting delicious, soft, chewy sweetness without any gluten, dairy or sugar. Our clever Registered Dietitian created these lovely, very simple bars with a few easy ingredients. The filling doubles as a delicious jam by the way, so you can consider making extra and enjoying it where you’d enjoy your favorite jam or jelly. This one has zero sugar or preservatives, but is addictively delicious. These bars are sure to be a hit and you can feel completely guilt-free enjoying them. In fact, it doubles as a breakfast bar, not just a snack or dessert. Yes, you can make them a la mode for specials occasions with some coconut or cashew vanilla “ice cream”, in case you were wondering! Let us know how you enjoy them.
