Tips for this recipe:
You can use regular oats! - I made these peanut butter & jelly bars to be gluten free, but if you wanted to use regular oats, you can.
Don’t change out the almond flour - I haven’t tested these gluten free oat bars with any flour other than almond flour, so I can’t guarantee the results if you switch it out!
Try a fruit spread! - Most store bought jelly and jam is going to be chocked full of sugar. I like to use St. Dalfour’s fruit spread, which is sweetened with fruit pectin and a great options for bars like this. I always have a jar on hand at home!
These bars are freezer friendly - these store great in the freezer! pop them in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to thaw or set them out on the counter for a bit before hand
