Easy healthy Gluten Free Blueberry Breakfast Oat Bars. Grab these flourless blueberry bars for breakfasts or snacks. Packed with whole grain oats and refined sugar free using bananas instead.
Spring fever has caught us with hours to go until Spring Break officially starts! Can you tell I’m excited? 😀 If we were going somewhere I could totally make a batch of these gluten free blueberry breakfast oat bars to-go.  But we’re not going anywhere. And I am still excited.
Things have been a bit rough around here lately and vacation (really stay-cation) seems like the perfect distraction. It’s a good excuse to get out and do things in town we normally don’t have time to do.
First up on our list: Indoor Racing. This could be really fun. Or, it could be disastrous. With our luck we would crash and end up in a cast for the remainder of Spring Break. But. Positive thoughts. We will have fun. Yes. We’ll go with that…
My boys have recently become interested in racing due to the game Forza Horizon 3. It’s an open, anything goes, driving game set in Australia. The game includes old classic cars but also incorporates new exotic cars like the Lamborghini Centenario and other fun Ferraris like the La Ferrari. There’s even off road monster toy trucks like the Baldwin Trophy that Ken Block drives. (Which BTW, you should totally YouTube his crazy drifting videos)
So while we’re dreaming about racing and enjoying time away from school hopefully I can get into the kitchen a bit more. We’ll see. I’ve made 2 batches of our favorite gluten free banana bread ready to enjoy Sunday morning (my son gave this up for lent) along with a zucchini chocolate chip banana bread version. Hopefully I can share that recipe soon.
And with that I’ll leave you with these healthy easy gluten free blueberry breakfast oat bars. The blueberry filling is ridiculously easy to conjure up and is refined sugar free.
Safe travels to all and we’ll talk more soon!

Hello, I’m Laura! Thanks for stopping by… I hope this blog will help you or someone you know and love. 
Hi is there a non gluten free version of this or a way to use regular ingredients?
Hi Samantha,
These blueberry oat bars use certified gluten free oats. Oats are already naturally gluten free but often contaminated with wheat during grow or harvesting procedures. Simply use regular oats if you do not have a gluten sensitivity.
Wow! Look at the color of those blueberries!! That definitely caught my attention!
These look simply amazing! I’d love these for breakfast!
These oat bars look scrumptious! My kiddos will love them!
I am a happy girl! The flavors are so good and they are packed full of fiver and protein! Winner!
YUM! What a delicious way to start the day! I know my family would adore these!
Those look terrific, I can’t wait to try them!
That crust is really impressive! So little sugar. And these sound like the perfect breakfast!
I can’t have banana as it’s a migraine trigger. Any thoughts on a substitution? Thanks!
Looks delicious! What kind of oil do you use in this recipe?
Hi Kelly,
I used Avocado oil but feel free to use whatever you have on hand.
Love the looks of this recipe! Any chance I could switch the flour, and use a GF mix I already have on hand?
Hi Tracy,
I have not tried this with regular gluten free flour. It might work but I think it could end up gooey. Try using a whole grain mix if attempting to make this Oat free.
You can also just grind up some of your oats in the food processor to make oat flour
These are pretty tasty! I sprinkle a packet of stevia over the fruit to sweeten it up a bit and add 80g of egg white to the oat mix for added protein. Texture is fantastic and the thick berry layer is to die for!
Hello there… this looks so good but my son is allergic to flax seed. Any sub suggestions for the same effect as flax.
Hi Nat, you could try chia seeds or corn starch… The flax seed in this particular recipe is to tighten up the frozen blueberries do things don’t end up soggy while baking. You could always try without adding anything to the blueberries. Still tastes good. Hope that helps!
My daughter can’t have bananas. Has anyone ever mentioned having positive results when subbing applesauce for the bananas?
Are these shelf stable or would you recommend refrigerating?
Refrigerate to keep the longest… There are no preservatives in them.
So yummy!! But I must point out that flax seeds are added healthy fat, not oil.
Absolutely LOVE these! I made them with blueberries the first time and just made them again with frozen cherries. Both delicious. So glad I found this recipe!
Hi!! Just made these for my daughters class but switched out the oat flour for Almond flour. Cannot find ost flour/gluten free at any of our local stores. Can’t wait to try this with the gluten-free oat flour which I just ordered from Amazon. Do you have any suggestions for other gluten-free flour, coconut flour or almond flour as A substitute for the oat flower?
Hi Maureen, you can easily (and cost effectively) make your own gluten free oat flour. Buy GF whole grain oats and simple food process/blend into flour. I haven’t used almond flour (nut allergies) but that’s a great sub for Oat with more protein. Hope that helps
