What makes these breakfast oat bars suitable for a vegan and gluten-free diet?

These bars use flax eggs as a binder instead of traditional eggs, and call for gluten-free rolled oats and unsweetened almond milk to ensure they are both vegan and gluten-free.

Can I substitute the almond milk with another plant-based milk?

Yes, you can use any unsweetened plant-based milk, such as soy, oat, or cashew milk, in place of the almond milk for these oat bars.

How can I tell if my Salted Caramel Breakfast Oat Bars are cooked through?

Bake the bars for 30-35 minutes, or until they appear golden brown and are firm to the touch in the center.

What is a flax egg and how do I prepare it for this recipe?

A flax egg is a vegan egg substitute made by combining 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 2.5-3 tablespoons of water and letting it sit for 5-10 minutes until it thickens into a gel-like consistency. For this recipe, you'll need two.

What is the best way to store leftover Salted Caramel Breakfast Oat Bars?

Once cooled, store the baked oat bars in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days, or refrigerate them for longer freshness. They can also be frozen for up to a month.

How to Prepare Salted Caramel Breakfast Oat Bars [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a deep baking tray with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients and set aside.
In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, milk, and melted nut butter and mix until fully incorporated.
Add the wet mixture to the dry and mix until fully combined. If mixture is crumbly, add a dash more milk until a thick batter is formed. Transfer to the lined baking dish and form into a rectangular shape. Top with the seeds and then bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
