A vegan take on the traditional raspberry oat streusel bar, these bars were far too addicting – in a good way. Though listed as a breakfast recipe, I found it to be more like dessert, or a sweet treat to enjoy with an afternoon coffee or tea break.
I discovered the recipe from Choosing Raw. Originally listed as blueberry oat bars, I made the swap for raspberry preserves that I already had at home. My favorite jam comes from Bonne Maman – from the raspberry, to blueberry, strawberry and fig, I haven’t tried a jam from this company yet that I didn’t like.
The recipe is fairly easy and takes advantage of ingredients that you probably already have at home. The only challenge I had was with the vegan streusel topping. I’m not quite sure it came out right, but the end result was delicious, prompting compliments from my roommate.
All in all, I would make this recipe again. To view this recipe in its entirety, visit the Choosing Raw blog for the link.

I’m currently in the middle of what’s inarguably the busiest time in my life. So much to do and so little time, but it’s all for a very good reason (more on that in the coming weeks!). So, while many flee the city for Memorial Day Weekend, I hunkered down at home to work on my latest project. But, as the old adage goes – all work and no play makes The SavvyBostonian a dull girl, so I did enjoy a few simple delights over the weekend. From strolls, to a bit of shopping and cooking, here are a few highlights from a relaxed Memorial Day Weekend.
