Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 Cup Natural creamy peanut butter
  • 1 Tbsp Honey
  • 1/4 Cup Coconut sugar
  • 1 Cup Rolled old fashioned oatmeal ((88g) gluten free if needed)
  • 1/2 Cup + 2 Tbsp Oat flour ((68g) gluten free if needed)
  • 1/4 Cup Powdered peanut butter ((21g))
  • 1/4 Cup Vanilla whey protein powder ((22g))
  • 1/2 tsp Baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 3/4 Cup Kalona Supernatural Vanilla Kefir
  • 1 Egg yolk
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 3/4 Cup Organic strawberry preserves

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and rub a 8x8 inch baking pan with oil.
  • In a medium microwave safe bowl melt the peanut butter and honey until smooth and melted, about 1 minute. Sprinkle the coconut sugar on top and let stand for 5 minutes.
  • While the coconut sugar stands, mix the oats, oat flour, powdered peanut butter, protein powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl until well mixed.
  • Whisk together the coconut sugar and peanut butter mixture. Add in the kefir, egg yolk and vanilla and whisk until smooth. The mixture will thicken a lot.
  • Add the dry ingredients into the wet and whisk until well combined.
  • Spread 1/2 of the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan. Spread the preserves evenly over top. Drop the remaining dough in little clumps over top of the preserves and then use a spatula to smooth out to cover the preserves.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean (a little bit of preserves on the toothpick is fine!) which is about 30-35 minutes. Place a hot pad into your refrigerator and place the pan immediately on it in the fridge for 15 minutes. *
  • After 15 minutes, return to the counter and let the bars cool in the pan completely.
  • Slice and DEVOUR!
