2 tbsp. agave natural sweetener (You could substitute this with honey or pure maple syrup.)
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup of Blackberry Patch Bunch O'Berries Jam
Line an 8 in. by 8 in. baking pan with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Use a food processor or blender to grind one cup of uncooked oatmeal into an oat flour. Pour this into a large mixing bowl. Add the second cup of uncooked oatmeal to the oat flour. Set the bowl of oats aside.
On the stovetop or in the microwave, melt together peanut butter, coconut oil, and agave sweetener. Once the mixture is completely melted stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the peanut butter mixture into the bowl of oatmeal and use an electric mixture to blend the ingredients together. A rough, crumbly dough will form.
Measure out 1/3 cup of the peanut butter mixture and set it aside. Press the remaining mixture firmly into the lined baking pan. Use a spatula or spoon to pack the mixture into the bottom of the pan.
Carefully spread the jam over the peanut butter mixture trying not to move it around too much.
Sprinkle the reserved 1/3 cup of peanut butter dough over the jam.
Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes. Let the bars set and cool completely. Cut and serve. Refrigerate leftovers.
