Ingredients
 
 

For the dough

  • 110g ground oats
  • 50g ground almonds
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 medium egg
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil/butter/dairy-free butter
  • raspberry jam or homemade chia jam (recipe below)

Raspberry chia jam

  • 70g raspberries frozen or fresh
  • 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 tbsp chia seeds

Instructions
 

To make the dough

  • Mix the egg, maple syrup and coconut oil in a bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the oat flour, ground almonds, cinnamon, baking powder and salt.
  • Pour in the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix to form a soft dough.
  • Divide the dough in 2 and roll out between two sheets of parchment paper into a rectangle (about 1/4″ thickness) and cut off any ragged edges. 
  • Spread the raspberry jam (recipe below) or shop bought jam along the centre of each rectangle.
  • Fold one side of the dough on top of the jam and press on it very gently, then fold the other side to enclose.
  • Gently roll the log so the seam is on the bottom, then slice into 3 bars (you should have 6 bars in total)
  • You can bake them in an air-fryer at 180C for 10-12 minutes.
  • Alternatively you can bake them in a preheated oven at 180C/160C fan/350F for 20-25 minutes until the bars are golden brown.Leave to cool and enjoy!

To make the chia jam filling

  • Add the raspberries to a small saucepan along with the maple syrup and lemon juice.
  • Gently cook over a low/medium heat while mashing the raspberries with a wooden spoon.
  • Once the raspberries are all mashed up, take off the heat and fold in the chia seeds. Leave to cool completely. The jam will set as it cools.
