¾ cup rice flour
¼ cup tapioca starch
⅓ cup granulated sugar
¼ tsp fine sea salt
Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cut into ½-inch cubes

For the pear filling

3 medium ripe pears (about 1 ½ lb), peeled, cored, and cut into ½-inch dice
3 tbsp honey
1 tbsp tapioca starch
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two opposite sides to use as handles for lifting the bars out later.
2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, rice flour, tapioca starch (the crust-and-crumble portion), granulated sugar, and fine sea salt until evenly combined. Scatter the cold butter cubes over the dry mixture and work them in with a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse, clumpy crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining — do not work it until smooth.
