Peanut Butter and Jelly Bars

Peanut Butter and Jelly Bars are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that will satisfy your sweet tooth. These bars are perfect for any occasion and are sure to be a hit with both kids and adults. To make these bars, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup jelly or jam (your choice of flavor)

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and peanut butter until smooth. Add in the egg and mix until well combined. Gradually add in the dry ingredients and mix until a crumbly dough forms.
Press half of the dough into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spread the jelly or jam evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Crumble the remaining dough over the top of the jelly or jam.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing and serving.
