Peanut Butter Oatmeal Bars

Step 1

Preheat the Oven to 350 F

Step 2

Set 1/4 cup of the peanut butter aside. Then in a large mixing bowl, mix 1/2 cup of peanut butter with maple syrup and coconut oil together.

Step 3

Add all the dry ingredients to the same mixing bowl, oats, oat flour and baking soda. Mix everything well to form a dough. (Use your hand if needed)

Step 4

Spray an 8x8 pan lined with parchment paper

Step 5

Add 3/4 of the "oats" dough and press down firmly with your hands. This will be the Crust layer

Step 6

Bake the crust layer for 10 minutes. Then take it out of the oven and let it cool.

Step 7

While the crust bakes, whip up a homemade Raspberry Chia Jam (Find the recipe here). Or you can use store-bought Raspberry Jam.

Step 8

Once the crust layer cools a little bit (~10 minutes), spread the rest 1/4 cup of PB evenly on top of the crust layer

Step 9

Then spread the raspberry jam on top

Step 10

Lastly, Crumble up the rest of the dough evenly on top and add a handful of frozen raspberry

Step 11

Bake for an additional 25 minutes

Step 12

Let it cool completely. Cut into squares. Enjoy!
