Instructions

Base Crust

    Gently press into the middle of the mixture to make a little dent. Push the oat mixture up the sides a bit to form an indention for the jam.

Jam  & Nut Butter Center Filling

    Then top with ½ tablespoon of nut butter and spread it to cover the entire oat base. Place the pan into the freezer to firm up for 30 minutes.

    Pour enough chocolate into one cup and use a spoon to quickly spread the chocolate to fully coat the top. Repeat until each cup is coated.
    Sprinkle the tops of the oat cups with flaky salt then place in the freezer to fully firm up for at least 10 minutes before enjoying.

Notes

Easy Chia Jam With Any Fruit
Chia seed jam is a healthy and delicious alternative to store-bought jam. It’s easy to make and uses fresh ingredients that you won’t feel guilty about. This super speedy jam is whipped up in 10 minutes and it is awesome.
If you think making homemade jam is difficult, think again. Say hello to this all natural, lip smackin good chia seed jam. It’s rich, sweet, and has the perfect gel-like consistency. The chia seeds thicken the jam so it means you can pull back the sugar and dial up the flavour.
