PB & J oatmeal breakfast bars
PB & J oatmeal breakfast bars
Soft, chewy baked oatmeal bars with creamy peanut butter and swirls of raspberry jelly in every bite. An easy, make-ahead breakfast that tastes like a PB&J but totally counts as breakfast.
Ingredients
- 1 cup oats, rolled or instant
- 1 cup oat flour, or oats blended into flour
- 3/4 cup mashed banana, about 2 large ripe bananas
- 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp creamy natural peanut butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup dairy-free milk
- 1 tbsp ground flax seeds
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- Raspberry jelly, or use my homemade chia seed jam
- Additional creamy peanut butter, for swirling
Instructions
- Start by mashing your bananas in a large bowl. Add the peanut butter, maple syrup, milk, flax seeds, baking powder, vanilla, salt, oats, and oat flour. Mix everything together until well combined.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper and pour in the oatmeal mixture, spreading it out evenly.
- Add big dollops of peanut butter and raspberry jelly all over the top. Use a knife to swirl them together — and don't worry about making it perfect. The messier the swirl, the better.
- Bake at 350°F for 25–28 minutes, or until set and lightly golden.Let cool slightly, slice into bars, and enjoy.
