nut, gluten and dairy free muesli bar bites – perfect for school lunch boxes

With many schools having a nut free policy due to potentially deadly allergies I have been experimenting with muesli bars that will be both safe for school lunch boxes and ones that I can eat (gluten free, dairy free and low FODMAPs). After purchasing Bob’s Red Mill wheat free oats I was ready to get baking and enjoying having oats back in my diet.

The inspiration for these little nut free muesli bites comes from the Skinnymixer’s Choc Chip Oat Slice.
