doris's gluten free breakfast bars

I was looking for a great gluten free copycat recipe for Belvita's cookies and was not able to find one. I developed one only to find it was too dry to hold together as a cookie so added a couple extra wet ingredients and the breakfast bar was created. These are moist and quite filling.
