We did a lot of strawberry picking on local farms in the summer. My kids were excited to run between the  little bushes of juicy ripe strawberries and picking them( honestly, mostly eating). We ended up picking so much, i had to freeze more than 7 gallons.

Oh, how nice is it to have frozen local strawberries in the freezer! Can be used in so many different recipes during the year.

Banana helps to balance the sweetness of the bars, but don’t be afraid to put some brown sugar here, that’s the key for a caramel -like taste!

Plan to cook this bars for your Sunday family breakfast and leave some for snacking during the week (keep them in a zip lock bag in the fridge).
