Ah, the fresh baked smell of peanut butter and jelly πŸ˜‰ What? You don't bake your peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? I think you're about to change that! Actually, I know you're about to change that, once you see this recipe!

There is nothing better than a PB & J sandwich for lunch. A childhood favorite and essential that grows with you just like mac and cheese! It's still a weekly lunch staple for me. It's not my all-time childhood favorite of 100% whole wheat bread with Jif peanut butter and Welches grape jelly. Lovingly made and packed in my lunchbox by dear old mom. I've had to make some modifications, but nonetheless, still my favorite lunch!

Why not make our all-time favorite sandwich a little more wholesome, trendy, and completely breakfast, lunch, snack, and dessert worthy! (That means you can have peanut butter and jelly 4 times in one day!) The secret these bars hold is that fact that there's no bread or peanut butter. What they're not missing is flavor (or smell!) These smell so drool-worthy while they're baking in the oven. I almost jumped in there with them!

Many celiacs lament the fact that finding a good, quality, and tasty sandwich bread can be rather difficult and frustrating. No bread-woesΒ here! We're using our friendly little safe and certified gluten-free oatΒ friends for these crumble bars! Not just rolled oats, but oat bran as well. These are super hearty and filling which is why they can make sure a great option for a satisfying breakfast.

I'm a huge fan of fruit butters,Β not jellies or jams. When I found some grape butter, the heavens sang! I usually make my sandwiches with apple butter, but these crumble bars needed to be authentic, so GRAPE had to be used. Eden Foods organic concord grape butter just had to be placed in my online cart and bought specifically for this recipe. It's just concord grapes, no added sugar or unnecessary things. Eden also makes some of my go-to's for apple and/or cherry butter.

Of course, you probably guessed it when I said there was no peanut butter in these, that instead there was peanut flour. Peanut flour will always be one of my favorite ingredients to bake and cook with. So much flavor in a healthy baking-friendly way. One thing I never want you to do with peanut flour...make it into peanut butter by adding water. If you want peanut butter, please just eat real peanut butter. Otherwise, that's just cringe-worthy and I'm not sure we can be friend anymore (haha!)

Since I know I'll get some questions for modifications, yes, using almond flour would be fine (yet much less taste as almond flour is very bland), and yes, you could use a different fruit butter or even jam. I've heard that some people think strawberry jam is the classic fruit flavor for the sandwich, but that's just blasphemy to me! It has to be grape to be classic! I did not grow up with strawberry jam (ever); I don't think I had it until I was older. Traditionally when the PB & J became popular (during WWII), the sandwich was made with 2 tablespoons of peanut butter and 2 tablespoons of jelly on white bread. The original brands used were Skippy or Peter Pan and Smuckers for the jelly. We were a Skippy and Welches family, but then I told my mom I liked Jif better. We were always Welches grape jelly, though, they never changed!

All your childhood lunchtime dreams come true! Peanut Butter & Jelly Crumble BARS! Here's one question I forgot to ask. PB & J sliced diagonally or down the middle? To be honest I never really cared. Nowadays, I don't even bother with that nonsense, but I know it can be a point of contention for us PB & J purists!

So tell me:

+ Diagonally or down the middle?

+ Crust or no crust? Don't waste that crust! (I know that's a bit debate too!)

    Hi Rebecca, I hold my hands up. I am guilty of enjoying peanut butter and strawberry jam on toast (multigrain, not white). I've never tried it in a sandwich and I've never tried it with grape jelly, which I'm not even sure I would find here!

    Your peanut butter and jelly bars do look good and I am tempted to have a go, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to get the ingredients, that's island living for you!

    My husband loves to have his pb & j each and everyday. I cringe when I see him eat white bread, and I'd love to break him of this habit. This looks like the perfect recipe to do so. And it's so much healthier for him. I'm trying to take gluten out of his diet one meal at a time and this will be a huge assistance to achieving this! Thanks!

    Peanut butter = love love love!
    Jelly = love, yes but with ice cream. πŸ™‚

    The peanut and butter and jelly combination is one that I've never tried. It's not a thing over here. But I know it's huge over there.! And you know me, I'd never turn down trying something new! And these bakes look absolutely delicious!

      Haha, that is so sad! You need to do us "State-ers" a favor and MAKE it a thing over there! PBJ world domination!

    First of all, grape butter?!!? Get out! That sounds amazing! Grape jelly used to be my favorite for PB&J and I loved it cut diagonally πŸ˜‰ Second...I didn't receive an email for this post (or for your previous three posts!), but I randomly checked your site and was surprised to see this delicious recipe! <3 Oh, and always yes to crust! xo
