PB&J BARS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-in. square baking pan with parchment, leaving an overhang on two sides.
• In a food processor, pulse chickpeas, honey, and vanilla until smooth. Add peanut butter and pulse to incorporate, scraping sides as necessary.
• In a small bowl, mix together oats, peanuts, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add to food processor and pulse a few times until combined but chunky. Transfer 1 cup dough to a bowl and set aside.
• Press remaining dough evenly into prepared pan. Gently spread jam on top, then crumble reserved dough over jam. Bake until edges just pull away from pan and top is set and light golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Let cool at least 15 minutes in the pan; then, using overhangs, transfer to a rack and let cool completely. To serve, cut into 16 squares.

PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Grease a 9 by 13 by 2-inch cake pan. Line it with parchment paper, then grease and flour the pan.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until light yellow, about 2 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, add the vanilla, eggs, and peanut butter and mix until all ingredients are combined.
• In a small bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the flour mixture to the peanut butter mixture. Mix just until combined.
• Spread 2/3 of the dough into the prepared cake pan and spread over the bottom with a knife or offset spatula. Spread the jam evenly over the dough. Drop small globs of the remaining dough evenly over the jam. Don't worry if all the jam isn't covered; it will spread in the oven. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and bake for 45 minutes, until golden brown. Cool and cut into squares.

PBJ CRUNCH BARS

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Stir the oats, flour, white sugar, brown sugar, graham cracker crumbs, and cinnamon in the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the whisk attachment, cut the butter into the mixture until crumbly. Press about half of the mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread the peanut butter over the oat mixture. Stir the jelly to make it spreadable and swirl into the peanut butter. Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture over the peanut butter and jelly layer; gently pat until it sticks together.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 25 to 35 minutes. Allow to cool completely before cutting into bars.

PBJ SANDWICH COOKIES

Steps:

• Use an electric mixer to cream together the butter, sugar and peanut butter; add egg and beat until well blended.
• In a bowl, combine flour, salt and baking powder. Add dry ingredients to wet, adding a little milk as necessary to make dough just soft enough to handle. Stir in the vanilla. Shape dough into a log about 1 1/2 inches in diameter, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 2 days (or wrap well and freeze).
• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease 1 or 2 baking sheets. Cut slices about 1/8-inch thick from chilled or frozen log. Bake until edges are lightly brown and center set, 6 to 10 minutes. Cool for about 2 minutes on sheets before using a spatula to transfer cookies to a rack to finish cooling. Sandwich flat sides of two cookies together with a heaping teaspoonful of jam; repeat using all cookies.

PB&J BARS

Steps:

• Line a 9-in. square baking pan with foil and grease the foil. Press two-thirds of the cookie dough into prepared pan. Spread jam over dough to within 1/4 in. of edges. In a bowl, mix the granola, peanut butter chips and remaining dough until blended; crumble over jam., Bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Using foil, lift out of pan. Discard foil; cut into bars.

PBJ THUMBPRINT BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180ºC (160ºC Fan) 350ºF, Gas Mark 4. Lightly grease your 23 x 33cm (9 x 13in) baking tin and line with a strip of parchment paper that overhangs the long sides, securing it in place with metal clips.
• Place the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and whisk together.
• Place the butter, sugars and peanut butter in a separate large bowl and beat with an electric mixer for about 5 minutes, until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and beat briefly to combine. Add the eggs one at a time, beating until each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Add the flour mixture and beat on a low speed until evenly combined.
• Scrape the batter into the prepared tin and spread evenly. Using a small spoon, or the handle of a wooden spoon, make lots of little holes over the surface of the dough, then fill them with jam. Sprinkle over the chopped peanuts, trying to avoid the jam.
• Bake for about 35 minutes, or until set and firm around the edges. Set aside to cool completely in the tin. Use the parchment paper to carefully lift the bars from the tin, then use a sharp knife to cut into pieces.
• For the topping, mix together the white chocolate and peanut butter and drizzle over the bars, using a spoon or a piping bag.
• Stored in a sealed container, these will keep for 3-4 days.
