Gluten Free Crispy Oat and Honey Bars – A healthy snack
These Gluten-Free Crispy Oat and Honey Bars will be a hit; I’m pretty sure of that.
This quick recipe is a treasure. I have yet to meet someone who doesn’t like these bars. Not to mention, they taste a lot like the ones you can purchase.
Of course, you could change things up by adding different-flavored chips, mixing in some peanut butter or another nut butter, or adding a little coconut. Have fun with the options!
If you are following Weight Watchers, the points add up to 50 for the whole recipe. I divided the recipe into two ways. First, I made these 1/4″ thick on a 9″x 13″ shallow baking pan and cut them into 28 servings. These bars have 2 points each.
This way, you get something sweet without adding up many points or calories.
