Happy happy day – it’s time to make some super easy oatmeal chocolate chip cookie dough bars! Quarantine has made me start wanting all the desserts after EVERY meal. So I figured I would make some delicious and decent for you treats that I can have on hand and portion out so I can perfectly fill that craving! I am a huge fan of cookie dough and sometimes I come across recipes called something cookie dough ball or something claiming to be cookie dough flavored but UGH, they never actually taste like cookie dough. So I wanted these to taste exactly like cookies dough, and they do! I made them two days ago and had to get the recipe to you as soon as possible, which is feat when a toddler runs your life. So I hope you make them, fully enjoy them, then comment on this post telling me about it!
Stacks on stacks of goodness!

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bars {Gluten Free}
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup melted ghee
- 1 cup natural creamy cashew butter
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup gluten free oat flour*
- 2 cups gluten free quick oats*
- Pinch of salt
- 2 cups mini chocolate chips, separated
- Flakey sea salt to top, optional
Instructions
- Line an 8x8 square pyrex dish with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl combine ghee, cashew butter, coconut sugar and vanilla extract and stir to combine.
- To the bowl add oat flour, quick oats, salt and ½ cup of mini chocolate chips.
- Press the cookie dough mixture into the pan in an even layer.
- In a bowl melt the remaining 1 ½ cups of chocolate chips and melt them in the microwave at 30 second intervals.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the dough and spread into a smooth later. Top with flakey sea salt if desired, then place in the refrigerator to harden.
Notes
- If you don't have oat flour, just put oats in a blender or food processor and process until it turns to flour.
- If you don't have quick oats you can put rolled oats in a food processor and pulse just a few times to break them down a bit.
Hi! Could you sub almond flour for cashew? That’s what I have on hand! Thanks!
Almond butter you mean? Yes you can!
YUM!! I made these vegan … using melted coconut oil and vegan chips .. plus sprinkled course salt on top. SOOO delicious! let’s see how long these last 🙂
Amazing!!
Thank you! So yummy and things we already had on hand
The best!!
This was super easy to make. I had to pulse the gluten free oats for both the quick oat sub and the flour. I also used almond butter because I didn’t have cashew butter. Still delicious and my 5 kids thought so, too!
So great to know!!
I made it tonight but had to modify with what I had on hand, I use peanut butter instead of cashew, I use melted butter instead of ghee and used granulated sugar instead of coconut sugar. It is sooooo good! I don’t think this batch will make it until tomorrow. Yum!
Ah that sounds amazing!
Yummmm… wanted something sweet and these hit the spot! So fast to make and so delicious!
Yay!!
These are so good!!
Woo hoo!!
These were such a hit with my family. Mine didn’t hold together well. Let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks for this great recipe ☺️
Could be the consistency of your cashew butter!! Unsure though!
These are INCREDIBLE and so easy.
YESS!
These are amazing! So addicting
So glad!!
