Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
In a large bowl, combine gluten-free oats, shredded cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped chives.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
Pour the egg mixture over the oat mixture and stir until well combined.
Using a tablespoon, scoop the mixture and roll into small balls. Place each ball onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the bites are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for five minutes before transferring to a serving plate.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
