Scale
Oat Crumble:
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour (gluten-free or regular)
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 2/3 cup brown sugar (coconut sugar works, too-though they will be less sweet)
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted (additional 2–3 tbsp as needed- butter can be used here, as well )
For filling:
- 2 1/2 cups fresh strawberries (roughly sliced or chopped)
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 tbsp sugar (or honey)
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
Instructions
To make jam:
- Combine strawberries, water and sugar or honey in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer. Let simmer until strawberries are broken down, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Stir in chia seeds and let cool until thickened (cool on counter or to expedite, cool in fridge for 15-20 minutes).
For bars:
- Preheat oven to 350. Line an 8×8″ pan with parchment paper (tip: if paper does not stick, lightly spray with cooking spray before placing in pan).

- Slowly, using hands, mix in butter until a crumble-like consistency forms.
- Press half of mixture into bottom of pan. Top with cooled strawberry jam.
