Low-FODMAP Chai-Spiced Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars; Gluten-free

Printer Friendly Version

My Low-FODMAP Oatmeal Cookie Bar recipe is taking this simple snack to the next level.

First, I toast the oats, to add a deep, nutty flavor. Such a difference.

Then I mix in homemade chai spices, for a warm and aromatic experience.

Finally, I PACK them with dark, delicious, semisweet chocolate chips.

They are.

So good.

Soft. And Chewy.

I can’t stop eating them.

But, since they are jammed full of fiber, protein and healthy energy, there is no guilt attached!!

Enjoy these low-FODMAP Chai Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars with coffee, tea or a cup of my low-FODMAP Spiced Chai Latte 🙂
