    Frequently Asked Questions:

    Can I make these Top 8 Allergen Free Granola Bars?

    Yes!

    First, you want to make sure that your oats are certified gluten free.  Oats are naturally gluten free but because of cross contamination it’s hard to know sometimes. 

    As for the flour, you can use a gluten free 1-to-1 flour.

    Are these soft or crispy breakfast bars?

    The bars are chewy and soft vegan breakfast bars. 

    Can I prep these vegan blueberry breakfast bars ahead?

    Absolutely.  Once these are made, you can store than into your freezer for approximately 6 months. 

    Alternatively, you could leave in the fridge in an air tight container for up to 2 weeks. 

    Could I do another berry besides blueberry?

    Absolutely! Feel free to get creative and use whatever type of berry or fruit that you’d like.

      These were fantastic! Love that they’re oil/butter free too. I had some almond pulp that I had dried into an almond flour that I used instead of the whole wheat flour and it worked perfectly. I’ll definitely be adding this to the breakfast/dessert (add a scoop of ice cream? Done) routine!

      Thank you!

      Ok these are divine and I can’t stop making them. It’s like breakfast but a treat, you know what I’m sayin!!!!!! You got oats, there’s fruit and hey let’s add applesauce right. Also, I did sub and use almond flour and some 1-1 gf. Always use the berries I have in freezer and voila!!!! I may try with buckwheat oats next time.
