Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 8” square pan with parchment.
  2. In a medium pot, stir together chia jam ingredients: raspberries, 3 tablespoons maple syrup, 2 tablespoons chia seeds and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Bring to a low boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes (stirring occasionally). Remove from heat and cool.
  3. In a small bowl mix remaining chia seeds with water. Let thicken for about 5 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, stir together oil, the remaining 1/4 cup maple syrup, the remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and chia egg. Add in remaining ingredients. Mixture may seem dry. Set aside 1 cup of mixture for crumble topping.
  5. Spoon remaining dough into prepared pan and press down evenly. Pour chia jam on top and spread out evenly.
  6. Crumble reserved mixture over jam layer.
  7. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes. Let cool, then cut.
