Gluten Free Cookie Bars with Chocolate Chips (Dairy free)
Delicious, gooey, chewy, chocolate chip cookie bars that are both gluten free and dairy free.
Servings: 16 bars
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup cane sugar ( granulated sugar/ white sugar works here)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups gluten free all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips ( or chocolate candies)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang on two opposite sides.
- Add the brown sugar, cane sugar, olive oil, egg and vanilla to a large bowl. Mix with a fork until the mixture is uniform.
- In another bowl, add the gluten free flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix with a fork.
- Pour the bowl of dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until fully combined. Add the chocolate chips and mix.
- Pour the batter into the lined pan and evenly spread it out with a spatula.
- Bake for 18-23 minutes or until the top puffs and the sides start pulling away from the pan. It will look underdone, but the bars will continue to set as they cool.
- Let the pan cool for 20 minutes before cutting into bars.
Notes
- Instead of olive oil, you can use avocado oil.
- Instead of cane sugar, you can use white sugar/ granulated sugar.
- Instead of chocolate chips, you can use chocolate candies (like M&Ms). I like Little Secrets Dark Chocolate Candies because they are dairy-free and they are made without any artificial colors or flavors.
- You can add nuts.
