Recipe Ingredients:

  • Sprouted gluten free oats–sprouted oats undergo a germination process that activates fiber. This makes them easier to digest, for people like me. I got a large bag from Costco! 
  • Banana –make sure it is ripe! The riper it is, the sweeter the oatmeal bars will be. 
  • Zucchini –Grated. I like using this cheese grater.
  • Chocolate chips –I like the enjoy life brand. You can use regular chocolate chips if you are not dairy free. 
  • Maple syrup–As the sweetener. Make sure it is pure maple syrup! You can also swap for honey. 
  • Coconut milk–You can also use almond milk!
  • Cinnamon–To give a nice kick! 
  • Baking powder–To help the oats rise.
  • Egg–Binds everything together.

Recipe FAQ’s:

  • How Should I Serve This? 
    • I love eating these oatmeal bars nice and warm, with fresh berries or banana slices on top! To reheat, you can place it in the microwave for 20 seconds or in the oven at 350 degrees F for 5-10 minutes. 
  • Are Oats Paleo? 
    • Technically, no. Grains are avoided on the paleo protocol, however, some people find that once their gut heals, they can tolerate them! I can tolerate them and enjoy eating them as a treat. It took me years to get to this point, though. I was strictly grain-free for 4 years prior.

What Kind of Pan Do You Use? 

  • I love this pan! 

Chef’s Tips:

  • Make sure you pat the grated zucchini with a paper towel in order to get all the liquid out. 
  • If you double the recipe, watch the bars closely while cooking to be sure that they are cooking evenly.
  • Allow the bake to fully cool before moving and cutting into them.

Hi, I’m Allianna. In my junior year of college I turned to Sarah Ballantyne’s Paleo Protocol and it saved my life. During that time I completely shifted and started to manage my autoimmune disease with food and lifestyle. Since then I have made it my mission to share my clean and real food recipes with you. On Allianna’s Kitchen you can expect to find paleo, Whole30, and AIP recipes as well as things I have learned along the way as my body has healed. I’m so excited to have you here.
