ingredients
Cookie Layer:
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1/3 cup runny peanut butter, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 cup almond flour

Method
To make the Chia Jam:
Step 1
Heat the fruit and a splash of water over medium-high heat until bubbly.
Step 2
Mash the fruit to your desired consistency.
Step 3
Stir in honey (if using) and add chia seeds.

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.

Whisk the egg, vanilla, syrup, and peanut butter until well combined.
Step 3
Add the dry ingredients and mix until a thick, sticky dough forms.
Step 4
Press the dough into the prepared loaf pan.
Step 5
Bake for 10 minutes. Once baked, allow it to cool completely.
Assembly:
Step 1
Spread the jam of your choice (such as homemade triple berry chia jam) over the cooled cookie base.
Step 2
Place the dish into the freezer for about 1 hour until the jam sets.
Step 3
Cut into bars and optionally drizzle with melted peanut butter and top with chopped peanuts.
