# Ingredients:
→ For the Dough
01 -
110g ground oats
02 -
50g ground almonds
03 -
1/4 tsp baking powder
04 -
1/2 tsp cinnamon
05 -
1/4 tsp salt
06 -
1 medium egg
07 -

08 -

→ For the Raspberry Chia Jam
09 -
70g raspberries (fresh or frozen)
10 -
1/2 tbsp lemon juice
11 -
2 tbsp maple syrup
12 -
1 1/2 tbsp chia seeds
# Instructions:
01 -
Combine raspberries, maple syrup, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over low/medium heat. Mash the berries with a wooden spoon as they cook. Once fully mashed, remove from heat and stir in the chia seeds. Set aside to cool completely - it will thicken as it cools.
02 -
In a bowl, mix together the egg, maple syrup, and coconut oil (or butter of choice) until well combined.
03 -
In a separate bowl, stir together the ground oats, ground almonds, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
04 -
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until you have a soft, workable dough.
05 -
Divide the dough in half. Roll each half between parchment paper into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Trim edges if needed. Spread jam down the center of each rectangle. Fold one side of dough over the jam, then the other side to enclose it. Gently roll so the seam is on the bottom.
06 -
Cut each log into 3 bars (6 total). Bake in an air fryer at 180°C for 10-12 minutes, or in a preheated oven at 180°C/160°C fan/350°F for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Let cool completely before enjoying.
# Notes:
01 -
You can substitute store-bought raspberry jam if you don't have time to make the chia jam.
02 -
These bars can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or frozen for longer storage.
03 -
Ground oats can be made by blending regular rolled oats in a food processor until they reach a flour-like consistency.
