Peanut Butter and Jelly Granola Bars

Ingredients

• Oats

  3 cup or 468g

• Peanut butter

  ½ cup or 129g

• Strawberry jam

  ½ cup or 160g

  Plain, clean water

  ¼ cup or 59g

• Salt

  Table

  ¼ tsp or 2g

• Butter

  Salted

  1 tsp or 5g

Directions

1. Note: You can substitute 1 cup rice krispies for 1 cut of oats, chunky peanut butter for smooth, use any kind of jelly or jam, and add nuts, coconut, honey, or dried fruit to the recipe, although this will change the nutrition information.
2. Heat the oven to 350.
3. Butter or oil an 8 x 11 baking pan. If you have a different size pan, that’s fine—it’ll just change how thick the bars are.
4. Pour the oats into a large bowl. You can use quick oats if they’re all you have, but I prefer the bite and chew of rolled oats.
5. Add the peanut butter, half the jelly, the water, and the salt to a small pan. Stir over low heat until it’s smooth
6. Mix the peanut butter and jelly concoction into the oats until all the oats are coated and you have a sticky mass. Dump the mixture into the oiled pan and press it into an even layer. Spread the remaining jelly over the top.
7. Pop the pan into the oven for 25 minutes, until it’s toasty and brown around the edges. Mmm. Crunchy.
8. Leave the bars in the pan until they cool completely, about an hour, then slice into 12 bars.
