Description

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Bars are a wholesome, chewy snack that travels well. Made with oats, almond flour, nuts, and a touch of honey or maple syrup, they bake into a soft, portable bar enriched with fiber and healthy fats. Dark chocolate chips add sweetness while staying gluten-free and pantry-friendly. Perfect for breakfast on the go, lunchboxes, or an afternoon pick-me-up. These bars are naturally sweetened and freezer-friendly for batch prep.
