Strawberry season means that berries taste like candy! These crumble bars are gluten-free and each bite is filled with extra-sweet strawberries in each bite!
It’s May so berries are in season and so sweet right now! I’ve been stocking up on strawberries, blueberries and raspberries! I love them for smoothies, baking and snacking on! Buying produce in season means you’re getting them at a better value and quality!
I’ve been obsessed with making smoothies and my favorite combo is this Blueberry Banana Smoothie! Just 6 ingredients and naturally sweetened with fruit 🙂
These bars have a layer of sliced strawberries in the center so each bite will be filled with fresh strawberries!
