Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl, and beat until well combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to form a dough.
Step 6
Stir in the rolled oats for added texture.
Step 7
Press 2/3 of the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the base layer.
Step 8
Spread the jelly or jam evenly over the crust, leaving a slight border around the edges.
Step 9
Sprinkle the peanut butter chips evenly over the jelly layer.
Step 10
Crumble the remaining 1/3 of the dough over the top of the jelly and chips, allowing some of the filling to peek through.
Step 11
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set.
Step 12
Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing into bars.
Step 13
Serve and enjoy your delicious Peanut Butter Chips and Jelly Bars!
