PB&J Granola Bars

Natural peanut butter and home made raspberry jam granola bars with dried apricots, sunflower seeds, and roasted slivered almonds = Oh yes I did!!! MmmmHmmmm. They are really good.

They are no-bake and keep in your freezer until enjoyed. 

1 Cup of rolled oats

1 Cup of diced dried apricots 

(rehydrate in boiling water if too dry)

1/4 Cup roasted sunflower seeds

3/4 Cup roasted slivered almonds

2/3 Cup peanut butter

1/4 Cup of jam

Directions: Roast seeds & nuts at 350 for about five minutes on parchment paper. Add to oats and dried fruit in a bowl.

Heat up PB&J in a saucepan and mix dry and wet ingredients. Press down tightly in a square baking dish lined with parchment paper. Cover with tin foil and chill in the freezer at least 15 minutes before enjoying.

Best bars for back to school! I'm sure almond butter would do the trick here too :)
