Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup strawberry jelly
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup strawberries diced

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line an 8 x 8-inch pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream the peanut butter, maple syrup, and eggs. Add the baking soda and salt. Fold through the strawberry jam, chocolate chips, and sliced strawberries.
  • Transfer the mixture to the lined pan and bake for 25 minutes or until golden and crisp on top.
  • Let the bars cool completely before slicing.

Notes

For ultra gooey peanut butter and jelly bars, remove from the oven around the 20-minute mark. 
For thicker, slightly chewier cookie bars, cook for at least 25 minutes.
