Strawberry Oat Bars with Chia Jam

Strawberry Oat Bars with chia seed jam sweetened with maple syrup. These bars are a tasty snack, breakfast meal or an afternoon pick me up!

Strawberry Oat Bars

Soft and chewy strawberry crumb bars made with the chia seed jam that I shared earlier this week! These bars have just the right amount of texture and the only sweetener added is pure maple syrup!

The flavor of the fruit really shines though in these bars!

These scrumptious babies were left in my work break room with a list of the ingredients written on a sticky note so that anyone that partakes would know what these bars are made out of.

Strawberry oatmeal bars for a crowd

With so many food allergies and diet restrictions it’s getting trickier to share recipes that meets all preferences, but I suppose it doesn’t matter because I find that nothing ever goes to waste when you leave any food in the break room!

Although these oat bars look decadent they’re actually pretty healthy! Several of my co-workers went back for a second piece (that they admitted to – hehe) and told me that they liked these bars because they’re NOT super sweet!

Since I bought quite a few strawberries I went ahead and added more berries on top of the jam. They softened up perfectly and I love how they pop out of the crumble topping!

• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 8 X 8 inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, oats, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. In a separate large bowl blend with an electric hand mixer the egg, maple syrup, coconut oil and vanilla. Combine the wet and dry ingredients mixing until a dough is formed. Remove about 1 cup for topping.
3. Place dough on the bottom of the prepared baking pan and with your hands press down evenly forming a solid crust. Spoon strawberry chia seed jam over the dough and spread evenly.
