It is still berry season.

This week, I used local strawberries and sprinkled in fresh blueberries for added color and flavor. Melting the coconut oil fills the air with a tasty aroma and your guests will be drooling as the oat bake is cooling. Feel free to top with a scoop of your favorite yogurt for a texture and protein boost. What are we waiting for, let’s get started!

A scoop of Siggi’s Vanilla Yogurt, YUM!
