    Why You'll Love These Gluten-Free Birthday Cookie Bars

    They're allergy-friendly!

    They're delicious and pretty.

    They are the perfect treat for your next birthday party!

    They are also great for kids.

    Equipment Needed

    All you need for this recipe is a mixing bowl and a 8x8 baking dish.

    Ingredients Needed for These Gluten-Free Birthday Cookie Bars

    Paleo Flour: My favorite is Bob's Red Mill brand and this is the brand I used! I like to get my gluten-free flour staples from Thrive Market because they have great deals! If you use my link, you can get 40% off your first order.

    Coconut Sugar: This is my favorite refined sugar-free option!

    Honey: I love the flavor of honey in my baked goods, but if you do not eat honey you can substitute with maple syrup.

    Plant Milk: Any plant milk would work here!

    Olive Oil: I love to bake with olive oil, but you can also swap with avocado oil or coconut oil here.

    Vanilla: I love to buy my vanilla extract in bulk from Thrive Market (see above for 40% off your first box). If you have histamine issues, getting a non-alcoholic vanilla extract may be helpful for you!

    Baking Soda: Make sure your baking soda is labeled gluten-free!

    Salt: My favorite salt is Redmond's Real Salt. I have linked it here and you can get 15% off with code LESSWITHLAUR.

    Vanilla Frosting: I am so sad because Simple Mills discontinued my favorite frosting, so I have been using Miss Jones or homemade vanilla frosting for this.

    Sprinkles: I always make sure to look for naturally dyed sprinkles!

    How to Make These Gluten-Free and Vegan Birthday Cookie Bars

    Preheat your oven to 350º F. Grease an 8x8 baking dish. Combine dry ingredients in a bowl and stir in wet ingredients. Pour batter into baking dish and bake for 15 minutes or until slightly browned. Let cool and then top with frosting and sprinkles!

    Substitutions and Variations

    I have not tried these with any other types of flour. Please let me know if you do!

    Storage

    Store these gluten-free birthday cookie bars for up to 5 days in an airtight container (I prefer to store these in the fridge). You can also freeze them if you prefer!

    Recipe FAQ

    Can you make this recipe nut-free?

    Yes! If you use a nut-free milk and nut-free flour then this recipe can be nut-free!

      I have noticed that repairing credit activity really needs to be conducted with tactics. If not, you might find yourself damaging your rank. In order to be successful in fixing your credit history you have to be careful that from this time you pay all of your monthly dues promptly prior to their scheduled date. It is significant because by not accomplishing that area, all other steps that you will take to improve your credit ranking will not be effective. Thanks for expressing your concepts.

      One more thing. I really believe that there are numerous travel insurance sites of reputable companies that permit you to enter holiday details and acquire you the rates. You can also purchase this international holiday insurance policy on the net by using your current credit card. All you have to do is to enter all travel details and you can begin to see the plans side-by-side. Just find the program that suits your finances and needs after which it use your bank credit card to buy it. Travel insurance on the web is a good way to search for a respectable company pertaining to international holiday insurance. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

      Thanks for your post on the vacation industry. I will also like to include that if you are a senior thinking about traveling, it is absolutely essential that you buy travel cover for retirees. When traveling, retirees are at greatest risk of having a professional medical emergency. Having the right insurance policy package for one's age group can protect your health and give you peace of mind.

      I have been browsing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It?s pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be much more useful than ever before.
