I need a soy and dairy free recipe for a portable "oatmeal" bar. My husband is diabetic; needs it for travel.!
Answers: My husband is diabetic with extensive food allergies. I need to create a portable bar with oatmeal that can work as a breakfast or snack. He can eat almond butter, but is allergic to eggs. Best if not need refridgeration.
I make one with oats, dried fruits, nuts, sunflower seed, rye flakes and toasted coconut, I bind it with Brown Sugar splenda, and either almond or cashew butter, even a bit of buckwheat honey I make them like the old marshmallow square I heat the butters, Splenda, veg oil and honey over a double boiler to warm it up and soften the butter and blend in the sweetener, add my grains and fruits, nuts and others, stir it in, press it in a wax/parchment paper lined 10X13 cake pan put in a 350 d F oven for 15 minutes let them cool, remove them from the pan, cut them wrap them in wax paper and plastic wrap, or you can buy disposable plastic container from the dollar stores to put them in, but make sure they are completely cooled as they will go soggy if not, no matter which way you wrap them.
I am not only a former chef, but a vegetarian and diabetic (10 years) Level 2.

OATCAKES
Mix the following dry ingredients:
2 cups of oat flour (you can easily make this yourself by grinding rolled oats in a clean coffee grinder or blender)
1 cup of rolled oats (preferably organic).
Half a cup of unsweetened, shredded coconut.
Use your fingers to mix 1\2 cup of butter into the dry ingredients.
In a jug, put 1/2 cup water, 1/4 -1/2 cup of either: honey, maple syrup, sucanat or a mix of any of these (the less you use the better — you can even use raisins or chopped dates instead).
Add 1/4 teaspoon of each: cinnamon, dried ginger, nutmeg and allspice and a dash of gray sea salt. Add this to the dry mixture and form the dough into a ball, allow it to 'sit' for 15 minutes before making into flat cookies.
Cook in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 10 minutes, turning them over to cook for another 10 minutes. They are great for lunch boxes and are so easy to pull out of the freezer 'and go' as you leave home in the morning.
