    Rich Chocolate Oatmeal Bar Recipe

    by Patti Estep · Apr 9, 2021

    Oatmeal chocolate bars on a black slate.

    This rich and gooey chocolate oatmeal bar recipe is made with chocolate chunks, oatmeal, walnuts, and almond flour for a delicious gluten free dessert any time of the year.

    Sometimes you just want to eat something ooey, gooey, and chocolatey.

    Can I get away with saying that this one is healthy because it's gluten free?

    Blue mixing bowl with almond flour, baking soda and salt with a wire whisk.

    I had almond flour leftover from my breakfast cookie recipe and I didn't mind the switch from all-purpose so I thought I'd use it up. If you don't have almond flour feel free to substitute all-purpose white flour in the same amount.

    A large bowl mixing bowl with bar cookie dough inside.

    The oats I used were from Bob's Red Mill. They have a gluten free label on them. You'd think that all oats would be gluten free but as it turns out that is not the case. If you are concerned just check before you buy them.

    Raw dough sprinkled with coarse salt in a large glass baking pan.

    This dough is pretty dense so you actually need to press it into the pan. And, if you are worried about the amount of salt I used, feel free to cut back or leave it out entirely.

    These chocolate oatmeal bars came out perfect. There was enough crispiness on the outside to give them some chew, but inside they were nice and gooey.

    These chocolate oatmeal bars did not disappoint. Are they super healthy? Probably not, but they sure tasted good.

      Thank you for this recipe. Oats are gluten free unless they are processed in the same area as gluten grains, flours, etc. It’s the cross contamination that is an issue. Bob’s Red Mill is processed in a gluten free environment. Thank you again! Have a good day!

        Thanks! I know it can be tricky to get gluten free products even if they are gluten free in their own state. The processing and cross contamination is an issue. Thanks for sharing the detailed explanation.
