These bars are made with gluten free oats and gluten free all purpose flour. While oats are generally gluten free they may come into contact with products that contain gluten, If you have celiac or a gluten sensitivity you want to check to make sure your oats are gluten free. However, if you do not have a gluten intolerance or allergy you may use regular oats and flour.  The raspberries can  easily be substituted , blueberries or blackberries would also be delicious.
