These healthy Wholegrain Strawberry Peanut Butter Bars are inspired by the beloved peanut butter and jelly sandwich! Each bar presents four rich layers: a melt-in-your mouth cookie base, a creamy peanut butter layer, a tarty honey-sweetened strawberry filling and a crumbly topping. Bake it for a yummy dessert or dairy-free snack and enjoy every mouthful.

As in all Kosher Create recipes, all grains used in this creation are 100% wholegrain. This recipe features oats and wholegrain spelt flour.
