Peanut Butter Oatmeal Bars

These are too good to NOT put in this blog!  They are not exactly Low Fodmap but in limited amounts, should not cause too many problems!

I got this recipe from my food service days in Crookston or Bemidji Minnesota.  They are a classic good bar that everyone loves.  Old-fashioned oats have more fiber and I tolerate instant oatmeal better than the Old-Fashioned version.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter                                                               1 cup gluten free flour
1/2 cup brown sugar                                                   1/2 tsp soda
1/2 cup sugar                                                                1/4 tsp salt
1 egg                                                                               1/2 cup instant oatmeal
1/2 tsp vanilla                                                               1/4 cup coconut milk
1/3 cup natural peanut butter                                   3/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Directions:
Cream butter, sugars, eggs, vanilla and peanut butter.  Add milk and dry ingredients.  Spread into 9×13-inch pan.  Do not push close to edges of pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for 15minutes.

When done baking sprinkle with chocolate chips.  When they have melted, spread out like frosting.  You can use more if you like, this doesn’t make a thick frosting but very rich and good.
