Review: Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Rolled Oats

Bob has made us oatmeal.  Goddess bless you, Bob.   Bob’s oatmeal comes in a 2 lb bag (11 cups dry) and is, in most ways, regular oatmeal.  Gluten free oatmeal, as you may know, is specially processed so as not to mix with nasty wheat bits that are a huge risk with regular oatmeal.  So, it’s really just oatmeal.  HURRAH!

 Tonight, I made granola bars and oatmeal out of it, both are delish!!

Granola Bars:

2 cups rolled oats
1 cup frozen raspberries
1 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 cup raspberry M&Ms (optional)
pinch of salt
1 tblsp melted butter (cooled to room temp)
1 egg, brought to room temperature and beaten
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup liquid honey
1/2 tsp vanilla

1.  Preheat your oven to 350 F
2.  Combine oats, raspberries, chocolate, M&Ms and salt in a large bowl.
3.  Combine butter and brown sugar until sugar dissolves.  Add egg, honey and vanilla and mix until smooth.
4.  Stir wet in to dry until the dry ingredients are evenly glazed.
5.  Press mixture firmly into a greased 9×9 baking pan.
6.  Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden and firm.
7.  Cool before cutting.

 Delish!!  And food on the go-go, how often do we have that for less than $3/bar?
