Here is an easy recipe I came up with for some delicious chewy gluten-free granola bars. It takes less than 5 minutes to mix and only about 15 to bake. You will need the following:
2 cups gluten-free oats
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
3 teaspoons cinnamon
Stir dry ingredients together, then add:
1/4 cup melted margarine
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 medium eggs
Mix thoroughly until all the oats are coated and moist. Then fold in either
1/2 cup chocolate chips or
1/2 cup raisins
Spread evenly in a greased cake pan. Bake on 350 degrees for 15 to 17 minutes. Granola will be firm and light brown. Let set for 5 minutes, then cut into bars. To store them for later use, I like to take the completely cooled bars and spread them out on a large piece of saran wrap, then I just cut the wrap into squares and quickly individually wrap each bar. With less sugar than cookies or a lot of other snacks, I find these delicious gluten-free granola bars to be a great treat or hearty snack on the go. Plus, you gotta love all the health benefits of good ol' oats! So give them a try and let me know what you think.

Can you taste the eggs in it, or do they go unnoticed?
gluten free oats make me nervous are they really gluten free? Has anybody had a reaction to them? I know several celiacs, myself
included, that wont go near them.
I find no problems with gluten free oats...as long as they are really gluten-free and not cross pollinated with wheat. However, I do know some Celiac's whose systems are not use to such heavy grains and therefore do best only eating smaller amounts of oats at a time. But you just have to do whatever makes you most comfortable.
And in response to the eggs...It is more egg-tasting than a crisp granola bar, but in my opinion is comparable to homemade pancakes in the amount of egg that comes through.
