Awe, when I think of peanut butter and jelly, it brings me back good childhood memories. I love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches! It was one of my favorite breakfast foods growing up. Our mornings are crazy here! I'm not a morning person, and big city traffic consumes so much of our morning time, I need a fast breakfast. My kids love granola bars. They can eat that any time of the day. So why not combine Jif Creamy Peanut Butter & Smucker's Fruit Spreads and granola? YES! My kids think I'm a genius ;) and the best cook ever. I'll take it! Ever heard of the Cartwheel app? If you love Target, the Cartwheel app is for you! It's an app that offers extra savings/coupons for items at Target! Jif Peanut Butter and Smucker's Fruit Spread are 5% off till January 21, 2017. PB & J Granola bars Prep time: 00:25 Refridgerate time: 02:30 Main Ingredients 1/3 cup Jif Peanut Butter 1/3 cup Smucker's Strawberry Preserves (or any other Smucker's flavors!) 3 cups old fashioned rolled oats 1/3 cup honey 1/4 cup unsalted butter 2 tablespoon light brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract pinch of salt Preparation 1 Preheat oven to 350F 2. Line bottom and side of an 8 inch square pan with aluminum foil. Spray with cooking oil and put oats in a even layer. Bake for 5 mins, then stir. Put back for 5 mins or until lightly toasted. Transfer to large bowl. 3 In a saucepan, combine Jif Peanut Butter, Smucker's Strawberry Preserve, honey, butter (cut into pieces), brown sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium heat until butter is melted and consistency is smooth. 4 Pour PB & J mixture into the bowl with oats. Mix well and let cool for a few minutes. 5 Transfer to lined pan. With damp fingers, press mixture to an even layer. Press hard, so the bars will be together once cooled and cut. 6 Cover pan with aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 2.5 hours. 7 Remove granolas from pan and remove aluminum foil. Cut into twelve bars. Enjoy! Additional Notes: For softer bars, store in container at room temperature. For harder bars, store in container in fridge. I put mine in the freezer for a little bit, that seemed to speed up the hardening process. I'm a dork. I know, I love the boomerang app. It makes videos fun! :) Check out the boomerang videos:
