We had a simple brownie recipe and we wanted to snaz it up. Naturally, we started with peanut butter and thought to invite his American mate, jelly. With organic strawberries not in season we wanted to create out own jelly/jam out of chia.
Job done. This recipe is simple and decadent. Just try not to eat it all at once you savage!
