- Makes
- 16 bars
Ingredients
- 240 g all-purpose flour
- 80 g rolled oats
- 120 g light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
- 170 g unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 120 g smooth peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 240 g seedless raspberry jam
- 40 g roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
Method
Heat the oven to 180 C, or 160 C fan. Line a 20 cm square pan with baking paper.
Whisk the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
Stir the melted butter, peanut butter, and vanilla together until smooth, then mix them into the dry ingredients to form damp crumbs.
Press two-thirds of the mixture firmly into the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes, until the surface looks dry.
Stir the jam to loosen it, then spread it over the warm base, leaving a 1 cm border around the edge.
Mix the chopped peanuts into the remaining crumble and scatter it evenly over the jam without pressing it down.
Bake for 23 to 27 minutes, until the top is golden and the jam bubbles at the edges.
Cool completely in the pan before lifting out and cutting into 16 bars.
Before you start
- This is an original Baking Show Guide home adaptation inspired by the episode brief. It is not a contestant recipe and not an official Food Network recipe.
- Choose a thick jam so the center stays distinct when the bars are cut.
- The bars keep in an airtight container at room temperature for three days.
