Glutenfree & fatfree crispy granola bars with oatmeal and honey
Glutenfree granola bars with oatmeal and honey. Where other granola bars often contain nuts, seeds or coconut oil, these bars are fatfree. This means they can be eaten on a Medical Medium diet, even in the morning and even on the first three days of a 369 original cleanse. In moderation of course.
Ingredients
- Oats – Its best to start with rolled oats that you grind just a litlle bit. This way you keep some whole grains to crisp up and you create some powder (flour) to bind with with just a few drops of water.
- Honey – This is one of the few recipes on my website that doesn’t call for raw honey (since you heat it anyway). Here the honey is needed to make the oats sticky and harding into crispy bars. But please, do use the raw honey you usually use. Because if a honey isn’t raw, it’s probably processed and/or blend with sugar as well.
- Water – Just one tablespoon to bind with the oats.
Are oats glutenfree?
Oats are naturally glutenfree. But they are often processed in the same place as wheat or other gluten containing grains. So they con be cross contaminated. Always check the labels to see if they are guaranteed glutenfree.
Easy to make
Just add the slightly ground oats with the water and the honey. The most difficult thing is mixing the ‘dough’, because your hands get really sticky. But those can be washed and if you do that with warm water, your hands wont stick any more when pushing the dough into the dish. Make sure you have yout non-stick parchment paper stick ou a bit. This will enable ytou to lift the bars out when they are ready. Precut before putting in the oven. The easist is with the tip of a sharp edged knife.
