Ingredients
  • 3 cups old fashioned oats
  • ½ cup oat flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 cup peanuts
  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • ½ cup honey
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 cup chopped pitted dates soak in hot water for 15 min prior
  • 1 cup strawberry or grape jelly
Instructions

  1. Start by mixing your dry ingredients: oat flour, oats, peanuts, cinnamon, and salt.

  2. In a separate bowl, mix the peanut butter and honey.
  3. Stir the peanut butter mixture into the dry ingredients. Keep working it to incorporate all of the oats.
  4. Next, work in half of the dates and the almond milk into the mixture.
  5. Spread it evenly in a 9 x 13 baking dish. Then, in a separate bowl, combine the remaining dates with the strawberry jelly. Using the spoon, work the jelly into the peanut butter mixture by dragging the spoon and pushing it into the batter.
  6. Bake this at 350 for 30 minutes. The edges should begin to brown.
  7. Let this cool for an hour in the pan until you can flip it out onto a cooling rack. Wait until it’s cooled completely to slice into bars, mine made 18. Just for fun, drizzle melted peanut butter on top!
