These peanut butter oatmeal bars are the best trick! They're no bake, easy and healthy; and the flavor is out of this world.

Categories     Dessert or Snack

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup creamy peanut butter (no sugar added, or sunflower butter for nut free)
1/2 cup honey (or 1/2 cup agave syrup* for vegan)
4 cups Old Fashioned rolled oats
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 to 2 ounces dark chocolate (1/8 to 1/4 cup chocolate chips)

Steps:

  • Mix together the peanut butter, honey, oats, salt and cinnamon in a bowl. (If the mixture seems dry and not sticky, add a bit more peanut butter and/ or honey; different peanut butter brands perform differently.)
  • Add a sheet of parchment paper to a 9 x 9 pan. Place the ingredients in the pan and press it into an even layer. Use a small glass to roll over the top to get it smooth.
  • Freeze the bars for 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the freezer and use the parchment to lift it out of the pan. Cut into 20 rectangles (4 x 5 rows) or 40 small rectangles.
  • In the microwave with short intervals or over a double boiler, melt the chocolate, stirring until it comes together into a glossy chocolate. If using the microwave, use short bursts of 10 seconds or so and stir after each: be careful not to overheat the chocolate or get any water in the chocolate, which will cause it to seize up. When melted, drizzle over the bars and allow to cool. You can eat right away, or refrigerate for about 1 hour for a more solid texture. Store refrigerated for up to 2 weeks (or frozen for several months, placing wax paper between the layers).

Categories     dessert

Time 1h55m

Yield 24 bars

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
2 cups (18 ounces) creamy peanut butter (recommended: Skippy)
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 cups (18 ounces) raspberry jam or other jam
2/3 cups salted peanuts, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Grease a 9 by 13 by 2-inch cake pan. Line it with parchment paper, then grease and flour the pan.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until light yellow, about 2 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, add the vanilla, eggs, and peanut butter and mix until all ingredients are combined.
  • In a small bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the flour mixture to the peanut butter mixture. Mix just until combined.
  • Spread 2/3 of the dough into the prepared cake pan and spread over the bottom with a knife or offset spatula. Spread the jam evenly over the dough. Drop small globs of the remaining dough evenly over the jam. Don't worry if all the jam isn't covered; it will spread in the oven. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and bake for 45 minutes, until golden brown. Cool and cut into squares.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bars will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a good quality peanut butter: The better the peanut butter, the better the bars will taste. Look for a peanut butter that is made with 100% peanuts and no added sugar or salt.
  • Don't overbake the bars: Overbaking will make the bars dry and crumbly. Bake just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter and jam oatmeal bars are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or breakfast treat. They're perfect for on-the-go or for packing in lunches. With a few simple ingredients, you can have a batch of these bars ready in no time. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give these peanut butter and jam oatmeal bars a try.
