Preparation
Place all ingredients for the jam in a small pan and bring to a boil. After boiling, simmer for 3 minutes or until it thickens. Mash the berries with a spoon or fork while heating. Cool completely.
Preheat oven to 175°C. Place all dry ingredients for the shells in a bowl and mix well. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.
Press the mixture into the sides and bottom of the tart tins. Prick the bottom with a fork. Bake for about 8 minutes. Cool completely in the tins.
While baking the shells, prepare the toppings. Place all dry ingredients for the toppings in a bowl and mix well. Add the wet ingredients and rub into the mixture with your fingers until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Refrigerate until needed.
Fill the crust with chia jam. Top with the crumble mixture. Sprinkle sliced almonds on top. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the crumbles are golden.
Garnish with fresh raspberries.
