You put the straw to my berry!

Hey guys!

Hope everyone had a great weekend! I know I definitely did.

I also was a little adventurous in the kitchen on sunday… a very random recipe concoction I came up with!

I really wanted to make some sort of treat of some sort and I also REALLY wanted to use some frozen strawberries. We have a ton of hand picked strawberries to use in the freezer so I wanted to use up with bag from trader joes first! 🙂

So there I was, recipe books, internet pages, blogs looking for some sort of recipe… then the lightbulb came on!

Ding Ding! Make your own strawberry breakfast bar!! 🙂 And that I did!

So I busted out a big ol’ bowl and started just dumping in ingredients.

Here are my…

Strawberry-break-fast Bar – (Little Bit Bars) – Measurements all end in an (-ish) because I didn’t truly “measure.”

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees

• Old Fashioned Rolled Oats (1.5 cups or so)
• Wheat Germ (1/4 cup ish)
• Cinnamon (1 tsp ish)
• Cocoa Powder (2 tbsp ish)
• Honey (4 tbsp ish)
• Agave nectar (1 tbsp ish)
• Syrup (1 tbsp ish)
• Vanila (1 tsp ish)
• Strawberries (thawed out)
• Fiber strips  (chunked up)

So I mixed all of the ingredients up until the oats were fully coated in the wet ingredients. I sprayed a little bread pan and dumped the mixture in and hoped for the best! I put the bars in for about 20-25 minutes and took them out when they stayed together in a bar! Let them cool!

Package them up and …. TaDa!!

Try them out! It was just kind of fun to play around and come out with something of my own! 🙂

Mix and Match all sorts of ingredients and they will be delicious!

How do you like your granola/breakfast bars? Crunchy or chewy?

I love both! They are all delicious!! Everything from Lara to Luna, I will take it! 🙂
