Ingredient ideas for healthy gluten free breakfast bars
While this recipe is delicious as is, there are so many things you can do with it. Here are some substitutions that will still result in delicious gluten free breakfast bars:
- Rolled oats: You also can use quick oats but I wouldn’t recommend steel cut oats.
- Cinnamon: Feel free to experiment with other spices like pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg, etc.
- Bananas: You could also try apple sauce or pumpkin puree.
- Greek yogurt: If your bars need to be dairy free, substitute pumpkin puree for the Greek yogurt, or a dairy free yogurt alternative.
- Chocolate chips: Pumpkin seeds, dried fruit, flax seeds, and nuts.
