The Shirley Journey

Finding Joy in the Journey

I have partnered with Hormel Foods as part of their Extended Family Blogger Program. While Hormel Foods provides me with material and yummy food, all opinions are my own.

Are you a Peanut Butter and Jelly fan? How about your kids? PB & J is a staple in our house. It’s one of our go-to meals when nothing else seems to please the crowd. It’s one of those things you always have ingredients for, so it’s a no-brainer.

Peanut Butter and Jelly Oat Bars are a perfect afternoon treat with all of our favorite flavors! Simple to make and yummy to eat!

We’re upping our Peanut Butter and Jelly game with these PB & J Oat Bars! I’m sure you already have everything you need in your pantry. If you don’t have the oats, you can leave them out, but I love being able to get a little in when I can.

This is such a simple recipe, which is why I love it and had to share with you! We’re all looking for easy, right? You could even wrap these individually to store in the freezer. They’ll make great afternoon treats for those starving children when they come home from school.

Peanut Butter Jelly Oat Bars

The boys LOVED these, the hubby approved and I already told you I loved them, too. I think they’d go over well for breakfast. Sure, it has sugar in it, but what doesn’t these days? They are very rich so a little goes a long ways. So, go grab a big glass a milk to enjoy with your PB & J Oat Bar!

    These sound absolutely delicious! I might have to try these! I use Smart Balance as a butter substitute and it seems to work pretty well!
