Healthier Vegan Blueberry Oat Crumb Bar Recipe
Summer is truly my favorite part of the year because of all of the fresh veggies and fruits that are produced- fresh-picked strawberries, blueberries, raspberries peaches, and so many more. I love experimenting in the kitchen and trying out fun ways to turn these berries into delicious desserts, whether that be muffins, pies, or bread loafs. However, I always go back to this Healthier Vegan Blueberry Oat Crumb Bar Recipe because of how quick and simple it is to make.
