Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups rolled oats old-fashioned
- ½ cup oat bran
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup peanuts roughly chopped roasted
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted
- ¼ cup peanut butter creamy
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup brown rice syrup
- ¼ cup jelly divided, or jam, plus 3 tablespoons
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325ºF. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, cutting a big enough piece so that it hangs over the edges on two sides. Lightly spray with olive oil or nonstick spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together the oats, oat bran, cinnamon, salt and peanuts. In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, peanut butter, vanilla, brown rice syrup and ¼ cup of the jam until well combined. Add to the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until combined and evenly moistened.
- Dump the mixture into the prepared baking pan and press firmly into an even layer. Drop on the remaining 3 tablespoons jam and smear over the top of the bars.
- Bake for about 30 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove from the oven and set the pan on a wire rack to cool completely.
- Use the parchment overhang to lift the bars from the pan, then cut into squares with a sharp knife.
