I’ve attempted to create granola-type bars in the past and haven’t been happy with the results.  I got lucky this time.  These are super easy to make and very quick.  They are packed with Omega-3’s, protein and fiber.

Note: this recipe is only gluten-free if you use certified gluten-free oats and oat flour, which are both easy to come by.
