PB&J Bars
PB&J Bars offer a baked treat combining oat and peanut flours for a nutty base, topped with a layer of strawberry jam and a crumbly dough finish. The bars deliver a chewy texture with sweet and slightly savory notes from coconut sugar and oil, making a handheld dessert or snack option. They can be prepared in an 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish, and chilled bars have a firmer texture ideal for grab-and-go enjoyment.
