Are oats gluten-free or not?

One last recommendation: if you are looking for a fully gluten-free Vegan Baked Oats recipe, be aware of which type of oat you choose to buy. Indeed, oats are a naturally gluten-free grain. However, they are often contaminated with gluten because they may be processed in the same facilities as gluten-containing grains like wheat, rye, and barley. Therefore, make sure to buy gluten-free oats, especially if you are celiac or allergic to gluten. Click here to learn more about oats!

Ingredient Selection Tips

Rhubarb

Look for firm and juicy stalks, with small leaves. These indicate that the stalks are young and fresh.

Strawberries

Look for strawberries that are firm and with fresh-looking caps. Make sure that they have a bright red and no green spots. You can use your nose to check if they are fresh and ripe enough: they should have a nice and pleasant smell!
