Preheat your oven to 180Β°C (350Β°F). Line a 20x20 cm (8x8 inch) baking pan with parchment paper, allowing the paper to hang over the edges for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, honey, and brown sugar together. Stir occasionally until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Remove from heat.
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt into the butter mixture.
Add the gluten-free oats to the saucepan and mix everything until the oats are fully coated with the butter mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to press it down evenly into a compact layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before using the parchment paper to lift it out of the pan.
Cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into mini squares or rectangles.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
