Recipe Review: Raspberry Breakfast Bars

I needed to make an item for a brunch potluck at work, so I made one of my favorite recipes: raspberry breakfast bars from the Smitten Kitchen blog.

These are more like a cookie than breakfast, as they are full of butter and brown sugar.  The tartness of the raspberry and lemon is the perfect compliment to the sweetness of the crust.  I've made this recipe with blueberries and the result was too sweet for me, but I think that blackberries would be delicious.

You make the crust in a food processor.  Very easy.

Then you mix together the filling ingredients.  The hardest part is zesting and juicing the fresh lemon, but you can save that step by using bottled lemon juice and dried lemon peel (just use less).

These bars smell amazing as they're cooking, and they taste amazing too.
