Vegan strawberry and banana oat bars - Free veg challenge

In this video I'm showing you how to make super delicious and healthy vegan oat bars with the freebie strawberries and banana given to me by my local green grocer :) New challenges awaits!

INGREDIENTS
----------------------
2 cups rolled oats
100g sugar
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1 tablespoon baking powder
3 mid-size bananas (mashed)
2 cups (roughly) strawberries

MAKING JAM
-------------------
1. Place the strawberries in a pot, add in 50g sugar and slowly cooked down in medium heat.
2. Once the berries are soft, add 2 tablespoons of chia seeds, stir constantly till it reaches the jam constancy.
3. Leave it to cool.

OAT FLOUR
-------------------
Place 1 cup of rolled oats in the food processor and blitz till it resembles fine flour. You can use readymade oat flour if you wish to skip this step. But fresh flour tastes so much better :)

MAKING OAT BARS
----------------------------
1. Add all ingredients (bar strawberry jam) into a mixing bowl and mixed till everything blend into soft batter.
2. Take ⅔ of the batter and spread evenly on a lined baking tray, then spread the jam on top of the batter. Finally, take the remaining batter and and spread it on top of the jam.
3. Use a fork to ‘disturb’ the surface of the top layer so some jam comes through the surface. This creates crunchy nuggets and textures on the oat bars.
4. Place the baking tray in the 190°C (375°F) preheated oven for 30 mins or till golden brown.
5. Once cooled, divide in desired portions.

Enjoy it :)
