You can make them gluten-free by just using gluten-free oats. 

For variation, add some chopped nuts of choice on top of these bars for some extra protein.  Add some flax seed, seeds or shredded coconut to take them up a notch if you want some more texture.  Add some sea salt for the sweet and salty lovers!  

Enjoy your healthy sweet treats!!
