Notes
RECIPE NOTES
- Remember to use I use gluten-free pretzels and gluten-free quick oats to keep these no bake peanut butter oatmeal bars gluten-free.
- If you don’t have quick oats, try pulsing regular gluten-free oats in the blender or food processor before combining with the peanut butter mixture.
- Feel free to add other mix-ins to these no bake peanut butter oatmeal bars, like dried fruit, peanuts or cashews, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, hemp seeds, etc.
