Grind almonds in a food processor until they become a fine meal and place into a mixing bowl. Grind oats the same way, then add the almond meal back in.<\/p>\n<p>2. Add cinnamon and sea salt, and with the food processor running add in dates a few at a time, until the mixture starts to come together. Press 3\/4 of this mixture into a parchment lined 9-inch x 13-inch pan.<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"recipe-setTitle\">Filling<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1. Blend peanut butter, bananas and sea salt together in a food processor.<\/p>\n<p>2. In the same style as the almonds\/oats mixture, feed the dates in a few at a time until the mixture is smooth. If the mixture seems too thick to spread with a spatula, add a little water as necessary.<\/p>\n<p>3. Spread this mixture over the pressed base in the pan.<\/p>\n<p>4. You can mix chia seeds into the jam if you like, then spread the jam over top of the peanut butter layer.<\/p>\n<p>5. Then add the remaining crumble on top.<\/p>\n<p>6. Refrigerate overnight and cut into squares. Store squares in the fridge to prevent melting.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.foodnetwork.ca\/recipetracker\/3e829476-79df-477b-b87a-8c621d1c51b8_healthy-peanut-butter-and-jam-squares_WebReady.jpg\" alt=\"Healthy Peanut Butter &amp; Jam Squares\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>INGREDIENTS Crumble 3 \u00bd cups gluten-free oats 2 \u00bd cups raw almonds 1 tsp cinnamon \u00bc tsp sea salt 4 cups dates, pitted Filling 2 cups natural peanut butter 2 ripe bananas \u00bd tsp sea salt 1 cup dates, pitted 2 Tbsp water 1 cup jam of your choice 3 Tbsp chia seeds (optional) DIRECTIONS [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-770","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-recipes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.qccrfm.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/770","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.qccrfm.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.qccrfm.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.qccrfm.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.qccrfm.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=770"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.qccrfm.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/770\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":771,"href":"https:\/\/www.qccrfm.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/770\/revisions\/771"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.qccrfm.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=770"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.qccrfm.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=770"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.qccrfm.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=770"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
