Why do I like it?
Here is another terrific recipe from one of my favorites, Angela Liddon's site, Oh She Glows. I have made this countless times and everyone always loves it. I keep getting requests from friends and family to make it again. It is a beautiful presentation and is sure to impress whomever eats it.
Any recipe notes or tweaks?
As a shortcut - I skipped making my own raspberry chia jam and used organic, store bought raspberry jam. I also used a 9x13 pan instead of the 8" square.
If you have some trouble locating brown rice syrup you can also substitute an equal amount of organic corn syrup or half the amount of molasses. I have tried both substitutions and found they work well.
I wanted to make a batch of these in the morning and decided to mix the dry ingredients together the night before baking. This worked out well, so I adjusted the directions on my revised recipe version to incorporate this technique. It was a real time saver to have the dry ingredients all measured out and ready.
