Breakfast, snack, dessert...second dessert?! These crumb bars are so versatile. I baked them for my best friends gender reveal party/Mothers Day Brunch, little did we know that she is having a boy! What a sweet surprise! I also baked them for my husbands birthday party, not knowing that they would be the hit of the party up against my gooey pecan pie & brown butter rice krispy treats! (yeah, those are coming up!)<br />

These bars are loaded with fresh blueberries, oatmeal, butter, & lemon. Simple yet delectable. These keep for a week if they last that long in your house! Perfect to grab on the go, or enjoy after dinner.<br />

<br />
As long as you have one bowl, you can make these bars! No mixer needed! The crust and the crumb topping are the same so this recipe is really easy to make with little clean up. You can easily change the fruit too. I want to make it with raspberries next and maybe add some chocolate chips to the topping.<br />

I've blogged about it on two other occasions because its simply irresistible and I just want you to try it! This cake is packed with a whole pound of fresh strawberries. They turn into a jam after 60 minutes in the oven, which makes your kitchen, heck, the entire house smell divine! This is a super easy cake to make with few ingredients. Besides it baking for an hour, it takes less then 10 minutes to prepare and get it into the oven. What better way to use freshly picked strawberries from the farm then on top of this cake?!<br />

When she got engaged, we had talked about me baking the cake for them. I was honestly a little nervous because I only ever bake wedding cupcakes with a small bride and groom cake.<div><br></div><div>She told me she wanted a naked wedding cake. Who doesn't?! They're beautiful, simple, and rustic. Plus, her and Adam preferred no icing so this seemed like the perfect cake! She said that I could have total freedom with the flavors, but we decided to stick with all vanilla and raspberry jam. Mm<br><div><br></div><div>I spent a month trying to find the best! vanilla sponge cake. Ugh, that was a disaster. Night after night I would bake new recipes and just throw them into the trash. It wasn't until I decided to try Joy Of Baking. FINALLY! The search was over. A recipe similar to a pound cake, yet still light. Was this for real?</div><div><br></div><div>Indeed it was. I decided to bake a trial cake at 10pm, fill and decorate it at 6am and bring it to work where we could all try it. Whew. I was so relieved when the cake was just crumbs left on plate. </div><div><br></div><div>Long story short, this vanilla cake is the bomb. And I'm choosing to share it with you!</div><div><div><div><div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH9WJTH5KTn1idfPVA2xUIVk3FMhwLAPyQHMJtGDDVrCA6NraJ5IzBLd_I7Ka_nLI4NfvNB1bsZ_1hdkOPVCmCwnPqwcB1UrDUnKdUsfyp4cU3zXxzYtV9bJ88OGpFiDFTKBvvR8DRwp8/s640/blogger-image--1840660962.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH9WJTH5KTn1idfPVA2xUIVk3FMhwLAPyQHMJtGDDVrCA6NraJ5IzBLd_I7Ka_nLI4NfvNB1bsZ_1hdkOPVCmCwnPqwcB1UrDUnKdUsfyp4cU3zXxzYtV9bJ88OGpFiDFTKBvvR8DRwp8/s640/blogger-image--1840660962.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsPyGay5AMyspF_XgXPU3rHTWNU8us04BsRWgZwZZJSs-7ZVfs3QTMcyMVVghc-Ko-TbvOsg3P5LDEDYOs6xGjLDYd8pNfT9E3vLhjcwTctU5jLFnWOpspWn8lRgaIKDj2CXKQBZj7mHg/s640/blogger-image-1103992016.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsPyGay5AMyspF_XgXPU3rHTWNU8us04BsRWgZwZZJSs-7ZVfs3QTMcyMVVghc-Ko-TbvOsg3P5LDEDYOs6xGjLDYd8pNfT9E3vLhjcwTctU5jLFnWOpspWn8lRgaIKDj2CXKQBZj7mHg/s640/blogger-image-1103992016.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj89BMTBD4nk76h9Jgkp_ezvSKD0dIwXDZjez3llRVaesaoKZfp5M4LCGnJupo0fdouTU5El-Z3Py68X5qLcbJnY5cQLABFsawu1wylhmw5ZQBawlsDFbBiZd0TQLdCMOIabDaFsuijYRI/s640/blogger-image-327451266.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj89BMTBD4nk76h9Jgkp_ezvSKD0dIwXDZjez3llRVaesaoKZfp5M4LCGnJupo0fdouTU5El-Z3Py68X5qLcbJnY5cQLABFsawu1wylhmw5ZQBawlsDFbBiZd0TQLdCMOIabDaFsuijYRI/s640/blogger-image-327451266.jpg"></a></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">3 cups AP flour, sifted</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">1T baking powder</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">1/2 t.

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hello! I have a fun recipe for you all.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A quick little batch of <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">strawberry</span> jam with super ripe berries</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and loaded with chia seeds.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since my husband and I have changed our diet a month ago,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we have been eliminating sugar from our diet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>This includes all of the jams I've ever made.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had to find something else that was without sugar,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so that I could still enjoy one of my favorite treats.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/blackberry-chia-seed-jam/" target="_blank">Two peas & their pod</a> have a wonderful recipe</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for a healthy jam. They made it with blackberries.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anything with chia seeds is popular right now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, have tons of fiber, & protein.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Overall, they're pretty good for you and can help you lose weight!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have been adding chia seeds to so many different meals.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Breakfast smoothies, salads, dinners...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since our new lifestyle is considered vegetarian with the</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
addition of either chicken or fish for one meal per day,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it's good to get protein from other sources.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Lemon bars for basha!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This past week was one of my best friends birthdays</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We celebrated all week long!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last year she requested banana cupcakes and caramel cream cheese frosting</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year was a little different.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Typically friends and family ask me to bake cupcakes,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I'm okay with that...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I was just delighted to hear that she wanted lemon bars!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Something completely different, and I loved it</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I loved being able to showcase my baking in another form</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cakes and cupcakes are great and all but there are so many other desserts out there!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here they are. From smitten kitchen (of course)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
past few years that I haven't blogged about.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I definitely haven't baked nearly as much</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as I used to.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I believe this blog kept me in the kitchen</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
& when I was without it, I wasn't baking.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
