These squares are a perfect option for a quick breakfast! They are rich in fiber from the oats, which helps to fuel you throughout the day. The raspberries add a little tartness and the chocolate adds a little energy boost. You can replace the flour with whole wheat pastry flour if you want to add in more whole grains into this recipe!
