Tired of endless PB+J sandwiches? Give

these bars a try instead!

They are a little more crumbly than a

store-bought granola bar, however.

As a bonus, these are made entirely

from ingredients that you can find in

any corner store or food pantry. Any

kind of jam or jelly will do; I used

blueberry, but grape or strawberry or

any other flavor would be tasty

Still searching for what to cook ?

INGREDIENTS

3 cups Rolled Oats ; or 2 cups oats and 1 cup Rice Krispies
1/2 cup Peanut butter
1/2 cup Jelly or Jam
1/4 cup hot water
1/4 tsp Salt
Butter Or Vegetable Oil

Servings

INSTRUCTIONS

Heat the oven to 350 °F.

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.

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. For a different texture, you can also

substitute a cup of oats with a cup of Rice Krispies, but

the bars are great either way.

Add the peanut butter, half the jelly, the water, and the

salt to a small pan. Stir over low heat until it’s smooth.

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.

Pop the pan into the oven for 25 minutes, until it’s

toasty and brown around the edges. Mmm. Crunchy.

Leave the bars in the pan until they cool completely,

about an hour, then slice into 12 bars.
