 INGREDIENTS:

RASPBERRY CHIA JAM (Or substitute for regular jam)

(makes ½ cup)

• 1 cup frozen raspberries
• 1 Tbsp. Own organic maple syrup
• 2 Tbsp. Own organic chia seeds
• 1/3 cup water

PUDDING

• 1 Tbsp. Own organic coconut oil
• 6 slices of Gluten Freedom broken black rice & polenta sourdough
• 3 Tbsp. Own cashew butter or dairy free spread
• ½ cup of raspberry jam
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup almond milk (Or any other milk)
• ½ cup Global Organics coconut cream
• 4 Tbsp. Own organic coconut sugar
• ½ cup Own organic sultanas

METHOD:

1. First make Chia Jam. Combine raspberries, maple syrup and water in saucepan. Bring to a simmer, stirring regularly for about 10 minutes or until liquid has reduced by about half. Remove from heat and stir in chia seeds. Place in a glass container and refrigerate for approximately 1 hour.
2. Now it is time to make the pudding. Preheat oven to 180⁰C, grease a shallow baking dish with coconut oil.
3. Spread cashew butter and Jam onto bread, then cut diagonally into halves. Layer pieces of bread with Jam side up, in two lines and slightly overlapping.
4. Whisk or blend together eggs, milk, coconut cream and 3 Tbsp. coconut sugar. Pour mixture over bread, move the bread around a little to make sure it soaks up the mixture.
5. Finally, scatter sultanas and remaining coconut sugar on top. Bake in the oven for 20-30min or until pudding mixture is set and top is slightly brown. Serve with COYO or your favourite dairy free ice-cream.
