Ingredients
Scale
For the crust
- 1 cup almond meal
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- pinch of sea salt
- 3 medjool dates, pitted
For the chia jam topping
- 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
- juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- pinch of sea salt
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- 1. In a food processor, pulse the almond meal, dates, sea salt and coconut oil until a dough forms. Press the dough onto the bottom of a small glass baking dish (mine was about 8×8 inches).
- 2. Prepare the jam by heating the blueberries and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Heat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the berries begin to pop and liquify.
- 3. Stir in the vanilla, sea salt, cinnamon, lemon zest and chia seeds, and remove from heat. If you’d like a sweeter bar, you can also stir in some honey, maple syrup or coconut sugar to taste.
- 4. Pour the jam topping on top of the almond meal crust and use a spoon to evenly distribute the mixture. Allow to cool to room temperature before stirring covered in the fridge.
Notes
- To serve, sprinkle some shredded coconut on top!
