Raspberry Strawberry Breakfast Streusel Bars
Breakfast! One of the best parts of the day, right? I love breakfast foods, there are so many things you can make to start your day off on a good note! These Raspberry Strawberry Breakfast Bars are a great way to start and get your day running on a fruity start with a hint of sweetness.
This recipe was initially given to me by my friend Karen, she brought me these in the form of raspberry white chocolate chip mini bars. One taste, I was totally hooked, they were absolutely delicious and immediately requested the recipe. I’m so glad she obliged.
Raspberry, Strawberry, and Orange
Fruit is the focus on these yummy bars, instead of just one flavor of jam, I use two here; strawberry and raspberry. Couldn’t decide which I love the best so I use both for a half and half version with complimentary chocolate chips.
Raspberry and White Chocolate
Thinking of some classic dessert flavors. First, I pair the raspberry jam with the white chocolate chips. I’m reminded of the Cheesecake Factory White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake and that is the inspiration for the first half of this breakfast bar. Wow, if you haven’t tried that you definitely must.
Matter of fact, I just had a slice yesterday for my birthday and it was every bit delicious and memorable!
Strawberry and Semisweet Chocolate
Second, the other half is strawberry jam with semisweet chocolate chips. This flavor inspiration comes from my days working in corporate catering where we made 100’s and probably 1,000’s of chocolate dipped strawberries. Who can resist those!!!
Orange
Orange zest is something I love throwing into so many things. I love how the citrus brightens up everything and adds such a burst of flavor to anything really. Also, orange compliments raspberry and strawberry so well and it goes perfect into the streusel to round out the flavor profile of these fruity bars.
These bars are perfect for a quick on the go breakfast or a snack anytime of day. Warning, they are super addictive!
