Gluten-free Strawberry Oatmeal Bar Recipe (Vegan, Dairy-Free)

Today I’m sharing a 7-ingredient gluten-free Strawberry Oatmeal Bar that is delicious and very easy to make! They are so tasty served warm with some dairy-free whipped coconut cream as a dessert or as a healthy snack bar. Lately i’ve been trying to create more gluten-free recipes using oats. I love how oats are so fibrous and nutrient dense. They also keep me fuller longer and don’t cause my sugar levels to spike.

Did you know that “oats are rich in carbs and fiber, but also higher in protein and fat than most other grains. They are very high in many vitamins and minerals. Oats contain many powerful antioxidants, including avenanthramides. These compounds may help reduce blood pressure and provide other benefits.” They are also “are high in the soluble fiber beta-glucan, which has numerous benefits. It helps reduce cholesterol and blood sugar levels, promotes healthy gut bacteria and increases feelings of fullness.  Due to the soluble fiber beta-glucan, oats may improve insulin sensitivity and help lower blood sugar levels.”  Also they “may lower the risk of heart disease by reducing both total and LDL cholesterol and protecting LDL cholesterol from oxidation.” Source: Healthline

For my gluten-free Strawberry Oatmeal Bar, I’m using some delicious fresh and very sweet strawberries by Yes! Berries. They are locally grown in Ontario greenhouses but they are certified pesticide free which is amazing! This post is also not sponsored by them but I truly love their berries so much and I had to share about them.

I really hope you enjoy my gluten-free Strawberry Oatmeal Bar and give them a try in your kitchen.
