Thanks, Bob’s Red Mill, for sponsoring another one of my posts! This time I’m featuring their gluten free old fashioned oats. I’ve mixed them into my most favorite (tried and true) crumb topping and created these irresistible fresh strawberry crumb bars. Our local strawberry stand is now open for business so I couldn’t resist this vibrant summer fruit. Enjoy these bars with your morning cup of coffee or topped with a scoop of vanilla coconut milk ice cream. Either way, you’ll savor every bite of these gluten free vegan strawberry crumb bars!
