You’ve got to try this sweet but healthy snack! These Strawberry Oat Bars are made with real fruit and sweetened with honey for a yummy, sugar free snack.
Strawberries are my favorite type of fruit, so I love coming up with new recipes to use them. Today I’m sharing a healthy snack idea that is so easy to make!
These snack bars taste nice and sweet thanks to the strawberries and plenty of honey. But since they don’t contain any processed sugar, they are great for you.
If you don’t have any strawberries in the house, try making these bars with another fruit. They would be delicious with blueberries, peaches or raspberries!
