Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 F.

To make the bars, combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl.

In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients and add them to the dry ingredients.

Mix well to combine and press the mixture into an 8x8" pan lined with parchment paper.

To make the topping, combine all of the topping ingredients and sprinkle over the top of the strawberry jam.

1 chia egg = 1 Tbsp chia seed + 3 Tbsp water. Place the chia seeds in a small bowl and add the water. Allow to sit for 5 minutes, stir, and let the mixture sit for another 1-2 minutes or until completely gelled.

Blend the strawberries, sweetener, and water until smooth.

Pour the mixture into a bowl and add the chia seeds.

Stir to combine and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until set.
