Servings: 8 bars
Ingredients
For the berry jam
- 400 g mixed frozen berries
- 3 tbs chia seeds
- 2 tbs maple syrup
For the dough
- 180 g oats
- 230 g banana, ripe approx. 2
- 25 g coconut butter
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 40 g maple syrup or liquid sweetener of your choice
- ground vanilla
Instructions
- Prepare the chia jam at least one hour in advance: fill the frozen berries in a pot and bring to a boil. Stir in maple syrup and let it simmer for about five minutes. Remove from the stove, stir in chia seeds, pop on the lid and let it sit for at least an hour.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place approx. half of the oats in a blender or food processor and ground into flour. Peal the bananas and mash with a fork.
- In a bowl combine the oat flour, oats, mashed banana, coconut butter, baking soda, maple syrup and ground vanilla. Give it a good stir.
- Line a baking tin with parchment paper. Set 2 tbs of the dough aside and spread the rest evenly in the baking tin.
- Add a good layer of chia jam and spread well. With the leftover dough create some crumbs and add them on top. Bake in the oven for approx. 25 minutes. If necessary put some aluminium foil on your baking tin to prevent the surface from turning black.
- Remove the tin from the oven and let it cool down. Using the parchment paper pull out the cake and slice it into bars.
Notes
You can store the leftover jam in the fridge and enjoy with some freshly baked bread.
