Peanut Butter and Jelly Oat Bars.

These simple, kid-friendly Peanut Butter and Jelly Oat Bars are a quick fix for busy days with the kids! I love how satisfying the oats and peanut butter are, and we all can’t get enough of the simple blackberry jelly that tastes like cobbler filling. You’ll want to double that batch and freeze some for later.

    My family loved these. I used raspberries and almond butter because of my son’s peanut allergy, and they came out great.
