The warm, nutty, and sweet aroma of these breakfast bars will make you feel like you’re in your favorite pastry shop. Creamy Greek yogurt makes the perfect accompaniment whether you decide to slather the yogurt on top of each bar or dunk the bars directly into the yogurt; both techniques are absolutely acceptable! When you only have time to grab your keys and go, keep it simple by pairing these bars with single-serve Greek yogurt packs for a complete meal. If roasted hazelnuts are difficult to find, raw hazelnuts can be roasted on a rimmed baking sheet at 350°F for 10-15 minutes.
