Cookie bars are one of my favorite recipes to make.

These gluten free cookie bars are incredibly moist, full of flavor, and healthy enough to eat for a snack!

How to make gluten free cookie bars

Beat peanut butter, melted coconut oil, brown sugar, honey, and vanilla in a large bowl until well combined.

Add eggs to the batter and beat well.

In a separate bowl, whisk together your dry ingredients: baking soda, salt, coconut flour, oat flour, and rolled oats

Add dry ingredients to wet and mix together.

Fold in the chocolate chips

Grease a 13 X 9 casserole dish and pour in the batter.

Use a spatula to flatten out the bars evenly into the pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or just as a snack!

These are protein packed and full of feel good ingredients.

I feel like a lot of gluten free recipes tend to get a bad rap.

I have definitely tasted some bland or texturally-challenged recipes.

It can be difficult to get the texture right when baking without gluten.

I’ve sort of made it my mission to make a good collection of gluten free recipes for everyone to enjoy.

I even wrote a roundup of 25 gluten free dairy free desserts that I have personally made and loved!

These bars are made with oat flour, coconut flour, and rolled oats.

Peanut butter holds it all together and adds protein too.

I use all natural peanut butter in this recipe, and it’s the only kind I buy.

If you are looking to buy healthy peanut butter, just be sure the ingredient label only has two ingredients: peanuts and salt.
