How to Make Gluten Free Oatmeal Bars Without Eggs

Before starting any baked recipe, check to see if there’s a flax egg and oven time. First preheat the oven, then make the flax eggs, then prep all of your ingredients.

To make gluten free oatmeal bars without eggs, we’ll be making 2 flax eggs.

First, preheat the oven to 350°F. Then, line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. This recipe is made for an 8-inch pan, so I don’t recommend using a 9-inch pan. The bars will be too thin. Then, make your 2 flax eggs and set them aside for later.

Grab a large mixing bowl and add in all of the dry ingredients: oats, oat flour, coconut, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk everything together until well mixed.

Next, grab a medium mixing bowl and add in all of the wet ingredients: flax eggs, coconut oil, nut butter, coconut sugar and vanilla. Use a clean whisk to whisk all of these wet ingredients together until you get a cohesive and mostly smooth mixture.

Now, scrape the entirety of the wet ingredients into the large mixing bowl, over the dry ingredients mix. Use a rubber spatula to stir and fold both components together until combined into a dough.

Fold in your favorites: chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, seeds, or even dried fruit. Be sure to chop nuts and fruit until you get small pieces. Large ones will create crumbly bars.

Pour your oatmeal bar mixture into the lined baking pan. Smooth into an even layer.

Bake for about 25 minutes, then cool, slice and enjoy the best dairy free oatmeal bars!

Notes

*Feel free to use any type of nut or seed butter you like. For example: peanut butter, cashew butter, sunflower butter. 😉

Store breakfast bars in an airtight container for 1 week. Keep out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources, which could keep the bars from being as fresh for as long as possible.

  1. Hi Stephanie! Yay, I’m so happy you enjoyed them! 😊 Sweet potato flour sounds super fascinating, thanks for sharing. They do freeze well, simply that at room temp or heat for a few seconds in the microwave before eating. Enjoy!

  3. Soooo good! I used sweet potato flour (because I had it) and they taste amazing! I have one bar and I’m full all morning without any bloating <3. Do they freeze well?

  4. Hi! I have all the ingredients besides coconut flakes! I hope I can use nuts or seeds instead of that’s okay. Are they a core part of the recipe? Thanks!

  5. Hi. This recipe seems very similar to your Good Morning Breakfast Cookies recipe (which my family and I love!) . Only ingredient missing is the maple syrup. Do you think these breakfast bars would still come out OK if I were to add some maple syrup to the recipe? Or would that ruin the texture/composition of it somehow?

    1. Hi Josephine, I’m so glad to hear you and the fam love my good morning breakfast cookies! While some ingredients amounts are similar, others are dissimilar. 😉 There are more oats, less coconut, twice the amount of flax eggs, more nut butter (oh you get the gist!) in these breakfast bars versus the cookies. For your maple syrup question: maple syrup is more liquidy, so it can add too much moisture to a recipe when swapped with coconut sugar, *however*, this recipe is somewhat flexible. Try subbing 2 to 4 tablespoons of the coconut sugar with the same amount of (or slightly less) maple syrup. Good luck!

  7. These were amazing, I used peanut butter and swapped the coconut oil for apple sauce to make them healthier, but they were so delicious. The whole lot disappeared in about 5 mins with kids asking for more. Thank you for the recipe.
