Peanut Butter and Jam Breakfast Bars

Course: Breakfasts
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 35 minutes

Ingredients
  

For the Jam:
  • 3 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 2 tbsp orange juice
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
For the Dough:
  • 1 ¼ cup smooth peanut butter
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups oat flour
  • 1 cup quick cooking oats
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions
 

Make the chia berry jam:
  1. Place frozen fruit into a medium sized pot. Add in orange juice.
  2. Turn heat to medium and bring mixture to a gentle simmer. When this happens, use a potato masher to muddle the fruit to your desired consistency.
  3. Remove pot from heat and add in chia seeds. Mix really well so that the chia seeds are evenly dispersed.
  4. Wait about 30-45 minutes, you'll notice that the mixture will begin to thicken.
Make the bars: 
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Add the peanut butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla to a large bowl.
  3. Using a hand mixer, mix until well combined.
  4. Add in the oat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, and salt. Mix to combine.
  5. Line a 9x9 pan with parchment paper. Press a little more than half the dough into the pan. Remove the parchment and dough. This will be the top half of your bars.
  6. Place a second piece of parchment paper in the pan. Press the remaining dough into the pan.
  7. Spread the chia jam on top.
  8. Flip the first dough you prepared on top of the jam layer (like a sandwich) and carefully peel back the parchment paper.
  9. Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven.
  10. Allow to cool completely before cutting. Cut into 16 pieces.
