I love a good crumb bar, and this recipe is the breakfast equivalent. These bars feel decadent, but you can tell from the mostly wholesome ingredients list that they are anything but. I like to serve them to the kids with a smoothie when I’m in a hurry, or on their own as something to take on the go. While I use jam in this recipe, sliced or fresh berries scattered over the bottom layer of the bar will work as well. They are easiest to cut once chilled and store exceptionally well in the refrigerator and freezer.

Create this French classic at home for deliciously upgraded desserts, breakfast, even fast, fun dinners. It's a kitchen chameleon you're sure to love. Tip: Crepes keep well in a warm (low-temp) oven, covered until ready to serve. Or cool and layer with wax paper and refrigerate up to 2 days.
