Preparation
Chef’s notes
These bars can be made gluten free by swapping the flour with cup for cup baking flour and using certified gluten free oats.
To make the recipe dairy free, swap the chocolate chips and candies with dairy-free alternatives.
For a vegan version, replace the egg with a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 2 1/2 tbsp water, let sit for 10 minutes).
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for a couple of days or refrigerate for up to 6 days.
