These easy gluten free berry bars are a quick fruit fix! A simple mash-up of breakfast favorites like gluten free oats or even your favorite gluten free cereal, plus some fruit and a few other ingredients make this a go-to breakfast treat!
We’re out of town visiting family this week, so I’m away from my “home base” kitchen. It’s always a challenge when you travel (click here for my top gluten free travel tips!), but I bring a few key ingredients with me, and somehow seem to be able to pull something yummy together every time!
When I found myself trying to wedge groceries into a refrigerator stuffed with too many blueberries, I got creative. I had my gfJules Flour on hand, and my mom had tons of her favorite gluten free Chex cereal, so … I put them all together!
No special baking skills required, just a one-bowl recipe that aims to please.
These gluten free berry bars would certainly be tasty with other berries that might overflow your produce drawer on another occasion! Serve plain or topped with yogurt or ice cream, as dessert or even, of course, for breakfast!
Enjoy!
Gluten Free Berry Bars
These berry bars would certainly be tasty with other berries that might overflow your produce drawer on another occasion!
Ingredients
- 1 cup gfJules™ All Purpose Flour
- 1 cup certified gluten-free rolled oats or crushed gluten-free Chex cereal*
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar or coconut palm sugar
- 1-2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter or dairy-free alternative (e.g. Earth Balance Buttery Sticks)
- 3 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/8 cup granulated cane sugar or coconut palm sugar
- dairy or non-dairy yogurt (So Delicious) or ice cream for topping (optional)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats or cereal, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Cut in butter until crumbly.
Gently press half of the mixture into a greased 8 or 9-inch square baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees F for 5 minutes to set.
Combine the blueberries and sugar; sprinkle over crust. Top with remaining flour mixture. Bake 35-40 minutes longer, or until golden brown.
Serve for dessert or for breakfast!
Pin it for later!

These are fantastic! Perfectly sweetened, in my opinion, with a great, crispy texture.
Cassie- so glad you liked them!
Loved, loved, loved the blueberry bars, which I modified to Blueberry Coffee Cake. I baked it in a large round casserole and used a spoon to serve it for breakfast. Everyone loved it, even our non-GF visitors. The corn/rice chex substitution for the oats is very helpful for us plagued with leaky gut syndrome. Thanks again Jules!
Love your lemon bars and the
Lemon Sugar Cookies, modified from
Betty Crocker w/GF Flour.
Thanks for all your info and making our
GF livestyles easier. L
ooh yummy Linda! I’ll have to look for that Lemon Sugar Cookie Recipe!!! Thanks!
Liked your page. Would love to win this for my nephew
I liked your FB page and would love being entered into the contest. An all time lemon fave for me in Lemon Meringue Pie, the type with sweetened condensed milk in it. For our family, we need it gluten AND dairy free. Momma is gluten free, and 2 of the children are gluten and dairy free.
“Liked” your facebook page! I can’t wait to try the lemon bars and I would love to win!
I would love to win mmmmmmm Lemon:)
These look so good! I like the fact you can sub chex mix for the oats, for variation!
