Raspberry Chia Jam Bars
- 🥣 Large mixing bowl
- 🍳 Small saucepan
- 🍞 Loaf pan & parchment paper
- 🥄 Spatula
-
1Make the Chia Jam: Add the raspberries, chia seeds, and water to a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring and mashing with a fork until a thick jam forms. Set aside to cool.
-
2Mix the Oat Dough: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, oat flour, peanut butter, maple syrup, and melted coconut oil. Mix well until a soft, sticky dough forms.
-
3Press the Base Layer: Line a loaf pan with parchment paper. Press ¾ of the oat dough mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan to create an even, solid base layer.
-
4Layer Jam and Crumble: Pour the cooled raspberry chia jam evenly over the oat base. Crumble the remaining ¼ of the oat dough over the top layer.
-
5Chill and Slice: Place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours until firm. Lift out using the parchment paper, slice into 8 bars, and enjoy!
- 🍓 Frozen Raspberries Work: No need to thaw first! Frozen berries break down quickly in the pan and make an equally smooth jam.
- 🥜 Natural Peanut Butter: Use 100% natural peanut butter with just peanuts and salt for the cleanest texture and healthiest result.
- ❄️ Chill Overnight: For the cleanest, most professional slices, let the bars set in the fridge overnight before cutting.
- 🔪 Warm Knife Trick: Run your knife under hot water and wipe it dry before slicing through the chilled bars for clean edges.
