Here's an easy gluten free treat. When you’re craving something sweet these chocolaty, chewy No Bake Eatmore Bars are a great choice. Both kids and adults love them, they’re simple to make and you probably have all the ingredients in your kitchen.
Everyone loves easy no bake recipes. They're perfect for young kids to get started in the kitchen, they take less time to make and they often have only a few ingredients. When I was young we made Uncooked Dainties all the time. For myself now I'll make Chocolate Coconut Oat Bars or Lemon Curd when I want a stove top treat.
Gluten Free Stovetop Recipes
Stovetop recipes are usually easier and quicker than baking plus they often don't use flour. Here are three more reasons when stovetop recipes like these Eatmore bars are the answer.
- It’s too hot to bake.
- You don’t feel like baking.
- Someone needs a treat and the kids are old enough to use the stove unsupervised. Yeah!
The reward will be ready to eat by the time the clean up is done. Sometimes that’s just the motivation you need.
Treats vs Snacks
Everyone wants to eat healthy but labels are confusing, advertising is compelling and we’re all busy. Over time the line between snacks and treats has been blurred. The gluten free diet makes you examine everything you eat but I’d argue we all need healthy snacks and treats.
A gluten free diet is hard enough so no matter who eats gluten free look for treats everyone will love. Lean toward recipes that are naturally gluten free and fun to make. Once kids (and adults) learn to have fun in the kitchen they’ll eventually move toward cooking with real food. Make eating healthy and healthier a life long project and it will serve you well.
Equipment
All you need for stovetop recipes is a pot and a pan.
- small of medium pot from a decent quality set of pots and pans
- any size baking sheet
- 8-inch square baking pan or similar
- parchment paper or parchment sheets
Fun Fact: Eat-More is a Canadian chocolate bar made with a dark toffee taste that’s full of peanuts and chocolate. This is my version and I'd love to hear in the comments below if you made them.
