⅔ cup oat flour, homemade
¾ cup rolled oats (gluten-free or regular)

6. Let cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before slicing into bars.
7. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
To make homemade oat flour, blend rolled oats in a high-speed blender until fine (about 30–55 seconds).
Coconut sugar can be substituted with light brown sugar.
Pumpkin pie spice can be replaced with a mix of cinnamon, allspice, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
You may substitute coconut oil with melted butter or sunflower oil.
For a softer texture, use quick oats instead of rolled oats.
Let bars cool completely before freezing in airtight containers for up to 3 months.
Store at room temperature in an airtight container for 3–4 days.
