A hearty oat bar with some of the best breakfast condiments around: peanut butter, nutella and jam.
Ingredients
2 cups large flake rolled oats (quick-cooking also work ok, or a combination of the two)
⅓ cup all-purpose or whole wheat flour
2 Tablespoons ground flaxseed
½ cup lightly packed brown sugar
Pinch of salt
½ cup butter, melted
½ cup smooth peanut butter
¼ cup Nutella or other chocolate spread
⅓ cup raspberry or strawberry jam
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, extending the parchment paper up the sides to make it easy to lift the whole works out to cut later, or grease lightly.
In large bowl, melt butter and peanut butter together in the microwave. Add Nutella and stir until smooth. Add oats, flour, flax, brown sugar and salt and stir thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.
Reserve ½ cup of oat mixture for topping, then press remaining mixture into prepared baking dish. Having slightly damp hands makes this easier, or spray the back of a spatula with cooking spray to press it down. Spoon jam in 4 evenly-spaced-ish lines over the oat mixture, then crumble reserved mixture over the top, pressing it down lightly before baking.
Bake for 30-33 minutes, until set and edges are slightly golden. Cool completely before cutting into squares. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
