Vegan Raspberry Chia Bars
Now that it’s summer (It’s a particularly hot day here in the UK!) it’s time to bring out the summery, fruity, light desserts (don’t worry I’ll also be posting chocolate recipes haha!), and these vegan raspberry chia bars tick all the right boxes!
The base is a combination of ground oats and ground almonds mixed in with some coconut oil and almonds butter (two of my favourite sources of good fats!) and chia seeds as a binder instead of eggs. To sweeten, I’m using xylitol – my favourite sugar-free sweetener.
The filling is a sweet and slightly tart homemade raspberry chia jam. You can use shop bought jam but making your own jam using chia seeds is so so simple, quick to make and you only need 3 main ingredients.
I’ve made these bars a few times and they always go down a treat and rarely last longer than a couple of days! These vegan raspberry chia bars are great as a light dessert after a meal or even a good snack that you can take with you when you’re out and about and feel peckish. They’re also gluten-free (if you use gluten-free oats), dairy-free and sugar-free.
