Raspberry Chia Seed Jam Oat Crumble Squares
"Reminiscent of a Nutri-Grain bar, this version is vegan, gluten-free, and made with a homemade raspberry chia seed jam. These squares require a good period of cooling before they are ready to slice - otherwise they are very delicate and may crumble a bit. However, once cooled (and I even recommend storing in the fridge), they firm up nicely. Feel free to use your favourite store-bought jam (use 1 cup) in place of the chia seed jam if you are tight on time. Oat squares adapted from my Healthy Strawberry Oat Bars. Chia seed jam from here...."
