Notes
- Allergy Substitutions:
- Storage/Freezing Tips:
- Gluten-Free: Substitute your favorite 1:1 gluten-free flour for the whole wheat flour in this recipe to make these oatmeal bars gluten-free and suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
- Dairy-Free: Use any kind of milk, such as oat, almond, or rice milk, as a suitable alternative for these oatmeal bars, making them dairy-free for individuals with lactose intolerance or dairy allergies.
- Egg-Free: Replace one egg with a small mashed banana or create a flax egg by mixing 1 tablespoon of ground flax with 3 tablespoons of water. Let the mixture sit for two minutes before using, making these oatmeal bars suitable for individuals with egg allergies or those following a vegan diet.
- Nut-Free: Leave the nuts out entirely or opt for a mixture of seeds (such as sunflower or pepitas) instead of nuts to create nut-free oatmeal bars, catering to those with nut allergies.
- Room Temperature: You can store the oatmeal bars in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 day.
- Refrigeration: For longer storage, keep the bars in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, ensuring they are placed in an airtight container or wrapped tightly in plastic wrap.
- Freezing: To extend the shelf life even further, wrap the bars individually or place them in a single layer in an airtight container or freezer bag. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. To thaw, place in the refrigerator for 24-48 hours or defrost gently in the microwave.
