How to Make Graham Peanut Butter And Jam Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 11x7 inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped peanuts (optional) and 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional).
  6. Press a little over half of the dough into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Bake for 15 minutes.
  8. Remove from oven and spread your favorite jam evenly over the crust using a spoon or spatula (approximately 1 cup).
  9. Crumble the remaining dough evenly over the jam layer.
  10. Return to the oven and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and set. Check for doneness after 20 minutes.
  11. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
