Ingredients
Peanut Butter & Jelly Granola Cookie Bars
- ¼ cup melted vegan butter or coconut oil
- ¾ cup maple syrup
- 1 cup quick oats
- 2 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 tablespoon almond or oat milk
- ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup strawberry or blueberry jam of your choice
- 1 cup Bob's Red Mill Peanut Butter Homestyle Granola
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350. Mix the melted vegan butter, maple syrup, oats, almond flour, baking powder, vanilla, peanut butter, almond milk, and salt together until a thick cookie dough batter forms.
- Transfer half of the cookie dough into a greased 9x11 casserole dish, use a silicone spatula to distribute it evenly and press it into the dish. Carefully spread the jam over top of the cookie dough. Top with the remaining cookie dough, using a spatula to ensure it's even and all of the jam is covered.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden around the edges. Your kitchen will smell incredible!
- Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing (carefully, they are very soft) into 16 squares. Drizzle the squares with peanut butter and jam. Top each bar with Bob's Red Mill Peanut Butter Homestyle Granola. Enjoy!

Jennifer says
Love this recipe. Though we have nut allergies. I was planning on using sun butter. Is there an alternative to the almond flour?
Jillian says
Hi Jennifer, I'm sure sun butter would be tasty in this! I would try 3/4 cup regular or gluten free all purpose flour!
Elyse says
Do these need to be refrigerated?
Jillian says
I usually leave mine on the counter in a sealed container and they do well for a few days. I generally don't refrigerate baked goods, but I don't think it would hurt these because they are so moist.
Grammie M says
I can't have grains and oats are a grain can I substitute chickpea flour or just do all almond flour?
Jillian says
Hi there! I'd try doing all almond flour!
