Looking for an easy, go-to snack that stores well? Breakfast on the go? Just sick of buying store bought snack bars? These strawberry-jam filled breakfast bars are a great option! These are sweetened with just honey and your favorite jam, so you can make them with your own preferred sweetness and feel good about all of the ingredients!
I used strawberry jam because that’s what we had on hand, but these would also be delicious with raspberry, boysenberry, blackberry jam. I could even see these bars being great with an apricot or orange marmalade!

INGREDIENTS:
For the bar:
- 1 1/2 cups oat bran

Bake at 350 F., for 25-30 minutes.
Let cool completely. Then cut into 16 square bars.

Easy Garlic Naan Bread
One of my favorite things lately has been this whole wheat garlic naan bread with dinner. It takes just about any main dish to the next level, but particularly pairing this with curries, or with greek food and tzatziki sauce has been incredible.
