Peanut Butter and Jelly Bars (with Butter Flavored Olive Oil)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ cup old-fashioned oats
  • ½ cup STAR Butter Flavored Olive Oil
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ¾ cup strawberry jelly
  • ⅔ cup salted peanuts roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8x8 square pan with parchment or aluminum foil.
  2. Sift together flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir in oats. Set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat together STAR Butter Flavored Olive Oil and sugar. Add egg, peanut butter, and vanilla; beat until combined. Slowly add in flour mixture and beat until the flour is incorporated.
  4. Put ⅔ of the dough into the prepared pan and spread to the sides of the pan. Put jelly on the dough and use a spatula to spread it to all the sides. Dollop the remaining dough over the jelly - it doesn't need to cover it completely. Sprinkle with peanuts.
  5. Bake for 30 - 35 minutes or until the topping is golden brown.
  6. Cool on a wire rack before cutting and serving.
