Gluten-Free, Allergy-Friendly Trail Bars image

I came up with this recipe, since it's hard to find quick-and-easy snacks without gluten or peanuts. These bars are so good that even my friends who don't have food allergies love them! If you have tree-nut allergies, you can substitute sunflower seeds and/or sesame seeds. There are so many variations on this recipe!

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 9

¾ cup sunflower seed spread (such as SunButter®)
½ cup honey
¼ cup agave nectar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups gluten-free rolled oats
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup chocolate chips
⅓ cup chopped roasted macadamia nuts
⅓ cup cashews, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Stir sunflower seed spread, honey, agave nectar, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl until evenly mixed. Add oats and stir to coat oats completely.
