Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 and line a 9x13 pan with parchment paper
  • In a food processor (or high speed blender), add all ingredients, except strawberry jam, and process until batter is smooth. A similar consistency to hummus
  • Scoop the batter into the lined pan and smooth it out evenly
  • Dollop the jam along the top and using the end of your spoon drag lines through the dollops of jam to create a marbled effect
  • Bake for 60 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. This will vary with ovens so, be patient! Wait until the edges are beginning to brown and the middle is set
  • Cool for 10 minutes in the pan then transfer to a rack for another 30 minutes for them to set
  • Cut into squares and store in a sealed container
