Ingredients

makes 12
  • 200g peanut butter
  • 45g maple syrup
  • 25g vegetable oil
  • 140g oats
  • 70g oat flour
  • ¼ tsp baking powder

Directions

Cooking mode
  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line an 8x8 dish with baking paper.
  2. Set aside 50g of the peanut butter. In a large bowl, combine the remaining peanut butter, maple syrup, vegetable oil and 50ml plant milk.
  3. Add the oats, oat flour, baking powder and salt and mix well to form a soft, slightly sticky dough. Add another tbsp milk as needed until the mixture holds together.
  4. Place ¾ of the dough into the baking tin and press down firmly with the back of a spoon. Bake the layer for 7–8 minutes, then remove from the oven.
  5. Spread the remaining peanut butter evenly on top of the baked layer. Spread the jam on top.
  6. Crumble the remaining dough evenly over the top. Bake for 18–22 minutes, until golden. Leave to cool completely before slicing into bars.
