Best Microwave Peanut Butter And Jam Bars Recipes

PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Set aside an 8x8-inch square baking pan (ungreased).
• In a large mixing bowl beat together the butter and peanut butter until creamy. Add the brown sugar and beat on medium speed until blended. Add the egg and vanilla and mix until blended.
• In a medium bowl combine the flour, oats, baking soda and salt. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and blend on low speed until all the dry ingredients are incorporated. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl and blend one more time until a crumbly dough forms.
• Press a little more than ¾ of the oat mixture into the bottom of the ungreased prepared pan (don't press too hard!). Spread the jam on top taking care not to leave more in the center; spread the jam evenly. Crumble the remaining oat mixture on top in clumps. Gently press down on the topping to make it more even. Bake at 350°F for 25 - 30 minutes or until the top is light golden brown. Cool completely before cutting into bars.
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerate for longer storage.

PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Grease a 9 by 13 by 2-inch cake pan. Line it with parchment paper, then grease and flour the pan.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until light yellow, about 2 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, add the vanilla, eggs, and peanut butter and mix until all ingredients are combined.
• In a small bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the flour mixture to the peanut butter mixture. Mix just until combined.
• Spread 2/3 of the dough into the prepared cake pan and spread over the bottom with a knife or offset spatula. Spread the jam evenly over the dough. Drop small globs of the remaining dough evenly over the jam. Don't worry if all the jam isn't covered; it will spread in the oven. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and bake for 45 minutes, until golden brown. Cool and cut into squares.

MICROWAVE PEANUT BUTTER & JAM BROWNIES

Steps:

• Add the butter and peanut butter to a microwave-safe bowl and cook on High for 30 secs to melt. Remove from the microwave and stir thoroughly. Allow to cool slightly then add the egg and stir to combine. Grease with butter and line a second microwaveable round dish (about 15cm wide) with cling film. Tip the peanut butter mix into the lined dish then sieve in the cocoa powder and flour and tip in the sugar. Mix gently to form a thick, sticky paste. Smooth the top of the mixture with the back of a large spoon.
• Using a teaspoon, make crater-holes in the top of the brownie mixture and fill each generously with jam as it will melt and bubble down when cooked. Pop in the microwave for 3-4 mins on High. Remove and leave to cool for 15 mins (it will carry on cooking as it cools) then enjoy!
