Raspberry Orange Oat Bars

Loaded with juicy raspberries, organic Sprouted Rolled Oats, and a hint of orange, these vegan Raspberry Oat Orange Bars are bursting with flavor—and perfect for picnics or summer breakfasts on the go! But while there are plenty of recipes where a frozen berry swap is as good as fresh, these wholesome oaty bars only hold up when you make them with fresh raspberries. (And that is all the excuse you will need to pick up a flat of this delicate fruit in the short few weeks it’s in season!)
