Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 g unsalted butter
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 50 g brown sugar (packed)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 180 g all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 200 g peanut butter chips
- 180 g jelly or jam (any flavor)
- 40 g rolled oats
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl, and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to form a dough.
Stir in the rolled oats for added texture.
Press 2/3 of the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the base layer.
Spread the jelly or jam evenly over the crust, leaving a slight border around the edges.
Sprinkle the peanut butter chips evenly over the jelly layer.
Crumble the remaining 1/3 of the dough over the top of the jelly and chips, allowing some of the filling to peek through.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set.
Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing into bars.
Serve and enjoy your delicious Peanut Butter Chips and Jelly Bars!
