It’s already time for February’s #TheRecipeRedux. This month’s theme is Break Out of Breakfast Boredom. Breakfast has been the steady, consistent meal of my day for the past five years – typically either yogurt, Ezekiel bread, oatmeal or scrambled eggs.
For this challenge, I decided to make a fruit topped breakfast bar. The bars have a thick oat based crust with a tart raspberry topping. Feel free to use blueberries, blackberries, dewberries, or raspberries. Keep in mind the raspberries are a little tart since there is no extra sugar added to the fruit topping.
Raspberry Oat Breakfast Bars - portable for those on-the-go mornings but nice enough to enjoy with tea or coffee on a lazy Sunday Morning.
