Peach Blueberry Breakfast Bars - vegan and gluten free

Have you ever been to the state fair in your state?  I hadn’t until this weekend.  The Michigan State Fair has a long history and was originally in Detroit.  After funding evaporated it disappeared for a bit until it was reinvigorated at the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi.

I’ve been on a kick of doing everything I can this summer and Novi is not terribly far from home, so we headed to the state fair.  We weren’t sure if we would enjoy it, but we didn’t have anything else to do, so we went in with an open mind.

Once we found a parking spot, which was a but challenging and hilariously made Dad super impatient, we headed inside to get our wristbands and explore the indoor portion of the fair.

There were tons of vendor booths with locally made products and local business owners.  While a few of the vendors were a little too pushy in trying to sell their product or service, most of them were very nice and we picked up some local honey and some roasted lentils for snacking.  There was even a mini farmers’ market which was cute.

There was a showcase of things that had won fair prizes from paintings to quilts to floral arrangements to baked goods.  I really enjoyed exploring the wonderful things people had made.  Of course, the animals made up a large portion of the indoor exhibit.  There were giant cows, tons of adorable goats, baaing sheep, and some pigs that we didn’t get a good look at.

So much fun hanging out at the State Fair today! This has been such an amazing summer and I’m not letting it stop now. ☉ #sky #skyporn #instagood #michigan #puremichigan #inspired #pretty #fair #statefair #michiganstatefair #ferriswheel #carnival #fun #dayout #labordayweekend #weekends #september #weekendfun #takemeback #summer #familytime

We headed outside on what I am fairly certain was the nicest Labor Day weekend ever weather wise.  It was seriously perfect out – 80s, sunny, a gentle breeze.  We explored the numerous food stands with all the classic fair foods: hot dogs, fries, ice cream, cotton candy, funnel cake, roasted corn, before walking around the rides, games, and more animal exhibits with adorable bunnies and beautiful birds.

It was a lovely day and I really hope if you have the chance to explore a state fair near you, I really hope you go.  It’s such a fun, relaxing summer experience that really is quintessential.

You know what else is quintessentially summer?  These Peach Blueberry Breakfast Bars.  I made a purely peach version last summer, and I only improved them by adding blueberries.

These are vegan and gluten free and kind of healthy, loaded with oats and fruit and nuts.  And they are crazy delicious.  I want to sit down and eat the whole pan.  They have this almost fritter thing going for them with the glaze and gooey interior, but they are much, much healthier than fritters.

I’m not letting summer go and you shouldn’t either.  We have Peach Blueberry Breakfast Bars and fairs to keep things sunny!

    I remember going to the Ohio State Fair when I was a kid. It seemed so enormous and so much fun. Glad you got to experience it. And your breakfast bars, really peach and blueberry, you are making them irresistible!
