An easy peanut butter jam bar recipe with almond oat base sweetened with dates and spread with a layer of red currant jam, then swirled with peanut butter. A simple and delicious dessert that's sure to satisfy both kids and adults.

  • 150 g Rolled oats
  • 70 g Almond paste, cubed
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 120 g Dried dates, pitted and chopped
  • 5 tbsp Coconut oil, melted
  • 2-3 tbsp Water
  • 400 g Red currant jam
  • 4-5 tbsp Smooth peanut butter, slightly melted
  1. Line a 24x28 rectangular pan with baking paper. Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Place oats, cubed almond paste, pinch of salt, chopped dates, melted coconut oil and water in a food processor. Pulse a few times until the mixture comes together.
  2. Spread the mixture firmly into the prepared pan and press firmly. Bake the base until lightly golden, about 15 minutes.
  3. Spread the red currant jam over and drop the slightly melted peanut butter over the jam, and then use a butter knife to swirl the two together.
  4. Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 20 minutes until the filling is almost set. Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

    Almond paste... Is that almond butter just with a fancier name? It sounds just as addicting, that's for sure!

    These bars look beautiful, almost like cookies with currants. What is the almond paste? Something like almond butter?

    @Adina Like marzipan, but without the chocolate coating, just plain almond paste.

    we don't use red currants very much (or at all!) over here and that's a shame--i love the color the jam gives these bars!
