Notes

  1. It is critical to use gluten-free oats if you are Celiac. Cross-contamination runs high in regular oats. (Note: Gluten-Free oats are not available in Australia.)
  2. I have tested this recipe with King Arthur Measure for Measure GF and Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 GF blend. That doesn't mean others will not work, I just have not tested other flours.
  3. To make this recipe dairy-free, substitute the butter for vegan butter.
  4. Several have asked about using frozen strawberries. These have a lot of liquid. I recommend thawing them and draining off the extra liquid before using frozen strawberries.
  5. These bars will keep up to 4 days in an airtight container, or up to 4 months in the freezer.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
