I don’t know about you, but I don’t think there is a better tasting combination than peanut butter and jam. The flavours just have a way of complimenting each other so well.
The other day, when I was looking to make an indulgent yet healthy breakfast treat, I knew that I had to have these ingredients in my morning snack.
Vegan Peanut Butter and Jam Glo Bites
Ingredients:
Crust
-
1/4 cup Earth Balance (vegan margarine)
-
1/4 cup sucanat (brown sugar probably works)
-
1 cup spelt flour
-
1/4 c milled flax
-
1 t cinnamon
Filling:
-
½ t baking powder
-
1 t vanilla
-
¼ cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
-
¼ cup cane sugar
-
½ cup PB
-
½ cup almond milk
-
Jam
-
Dark Chocolate chips (optional)
Directions: Mix crust together with a hand blender in a medium sized bowl. Place approx 1 tsp of crust dough into pre-greased mini muffin tin (or use 1 T of crust in a regular muffin tin). Press down to create a mini crust making sure the crust comes up on the sides a bit. Add filling, filling the tin about half only, and top with jam and chocolate or carob chips. Bake at 350F for 15 minutes. Makes 24 mini cups.
Note. You can also experiment by putting the jam on top of the crust but before the filling layer. I would suggest not mixing the jam into the filling though because the taste sort of gets lost in all of the other ingredients.
Recipe inspiration from here.
The crust turned out absolutely delicious. I think this is one of the best tasting crusts I have ever made!
In the photo above, I used a mini tart pan. I think this was my favourite size, although the mini ones were super cute.
These tasted out of this world delicious!!! I am seriously addicted. They make such a fun breakfast treat on days when you just aren’t feeling the regular stuff or when you want to make something special on the weekend. When they bake in the oven the whole house smells just wonderful too! Just delicious.

Enjoy your day!

Those look so good!! I’d love to make them, but I’m always a little intimidated by some of those ingredients. :)
OMG I definitely need to make those asap!
And I could always use more chia goodness! Yay!
I love using chia seeds, but they are SOOOOO pricey at my store so I would love to stumble upon a 3 lb bag! ;)
I am really feeling the PB & J combo recently too, I had it on my oats this morning! (With chia seeds, obvi).
Those glo bites look so yummy! I love pb & j :)
Angela,
I love your blog so much. Thanks for doing a chia seed giveaway, and for inspiring me to take care of myself! <3
Wow, those look so delicious! I wish was eating one right now. I would love to win the chia seeds so I can put them in my green monster.
Yum! Those look tasty. As much as I love PB&J, PB and chocolate just might win the tastiest combo award!
Those look so delicious. Since I’m on a raw kick right now I’m already thinking of all the ways I could make a raw version of them.
I love chia seeds too, so here’s hoping.
The new recipe looks great! I will have to try it out sometime :)

Ooooh, did I miss this?! I hope not! I’ve never tried the seeds before :)
i just made mine.. and delicious doesnt even BEGIN to describe how good they are.
although ive always been very happy w ur recipes, i must admit, i was skeptical; pb and j sandwich ? mmm. pb and j in a cute little tart? ehh, cute idea, not so sure.
ALL my original worries were totally wrong. these are AMAZING. and one of my new fav recipes. plus, they’re easy, look adorable, and are easy to transport (ie work school road)

I made these yesterday using wholewheat flour, and subbing peanut butter for Earth Balance. BEST CRUST I HAVE EVER EATEN! :D Something went wrong with my filling though…ooops.
