No-bake Strawberry Crisp Granola Bars

Line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside. In a large bowl, combine all bar base ingredients. Layer and press onto the pan and freeze for an hour. Make the strawberry jam filling by first washing and slicing the strawberry stems. Slice the strawberries into smaller pieces and place them into a small pot at medium/low heat. Add lemon juice, vanilla extract, maple syrup and finally— the chia seeds. Allow to simmer and thicken into a muddled jam for 10 minutes. Add to the frozen bar base. Freeze again for 1 hour until set. Bring it out to thaw 20 minutes before enjoying them.
