I love berries. I love them so much that we grow them in our yard. Blackberries grow everywhere and they’re considered an invasive weed. Raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries are a must for every pacific northwest yard!
We always have more than enough berries to go around. We use them in smoothies, salads, and in various desserts.
These vegan raspberry oatmeal bars are one of my favorite tasty treat recipes ever. I’ve taken your average raspberry oat bars to the next level by adding a little bit of chocolate. When it comes to raspberry and chocolate I think they were meant to be together.
