Start by adding ground flaxseed to small bowl with water; stir and let it sit for five minutes. In food processor, add dates, almond butter and pulse until it begins to form a ball-like dough. Now add in almonds and oats and pulse. The mixture will be crumbly, but it can be shaped.
Transfer it to a 9x9 silicone pan, or a baking dish lined with parchment paper and press the mixture down.
Use the back of a spatula to press the mixture into the pan. Set the crust in the freezer for 30 minutes.
Jam
In a medium saucepan, add strawberries, maple syrup and water. Stir the mixture over medium heat until it boils.
As the strawberries start to break apart, use the back of a fork to mash them. Let the mixture boil, while you stir it over medium heat for three to four minutes.
Then add in the one tablespoon of ground chia. (You can grind your own chia seeds using a coffee grinder.)
Add the chia slowly, while mixing. Transfer it to a bowl and place it in the refrigerator to set.
Topping
First, add almonds to food processor and grind them down to a coarse-type flour. Then transfer the mixture to a bowl and add oats and almond butter. Using a fork, stir until crumbly.
Assembly:
Add the strawberry jam to the crust, then finish with the topping.
Return the assembled treat to the freezer for one hour.
Slice bars and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
