Strawberry Oat Bars
These Strawberry Oat Bars are decadently delicious and the best part is, you can enjoy them at any time of day. Dorothy Delaney has this sweet bar filled with lots to crunch. With dates and strawberries in the mix, this is one of those no bake heart-healthy snacks that tastes like dessert but is totally guilt free!
Notes
Add coconut to the crust, cacao nibs to the filling, or use raspberries instead of strawberries.
