  • cup EGFG gluten free flour blend (brown rice flour, oat flour, teff flour or a blend)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon

FRUIT, NUTS & SEEDS

  • 1 cup nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts, cashews or pistachios)
  • 1 cup dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, apricots or dates)
  • ½ cup seeds (sesame, sunflower, flax or pumpkin)

WET INGREDIENTS

  • cup vegetable oil
  • cup peanut butter
  • cup honey (or maple syrup)
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl mix together oats, sugar, flour, salt and cinnamon.
  • Add nuts, fruit and seeds to the above, stir to combine.
  • In a 2-cup liquid measuring cup combine oil, peanut butter and honey. Microwave for 30-60 seconds, whisk until smooth.
  • Add egg and vanilla to liquid and whisk again.
  • Pour liquid into dry ingredients and stir until combined. Press firmly into prepared pan and bake in 350°F oven for 25-30 minutes.

Notes

EGFG gluten free flour blend (sweet rice flour, potato starch, sorghum flour, millet flour)
Gluten free flour - All flours, starches and blends have slightly different properties. I use this recipe to keep learning more and to use up bits of flour or blends I have from other recipes. Sometimes my bars crumble because they don't have enough structure and sometimes they're perfect.
