Gluten-Free, Allergy-Friendly Trail Bars

I came up with this recipe, since it’s hard to find quick-and-easy snacks without gluten or peanuts. These bars are so good that even my friends who don’t have food allergies love them! If you have tree-nut allergies, you can substitute sunflower seeds and/or sesame seeds. There are so many variations on this recipe!

Step: 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step: 2

Stir sunflower seed spread, honey, agave nectar, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl until evenly mixed. Add oats and stir to coat oats completely.

Step: 3

Stir cranberries, chocolate chips, macadamia nuts, and cashews into oats mixture. Turn oat mixture out into the prepared baking dish and press down until evenly spread out and compact.

Step: 4

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool completely before cutting into bars.
