Vegan Wagon Wheels Recipe

I love a good treat and this Vegan Wagon Wheels Recipe is perfect! Who remembers Wagon Wheels? I do! I wasn’t the biggest fan but then again… anything with chocolate on it is a winning treat in my eyes!

This is a great recipe if you are wanting to put a healthy spin on the classic. These were an absolute hit in the office so I will definitely be making these again soon.

The chia jam is also a fantastic staple in the kitchen! Have it on toast or on some freshly made scones. I would probably re-make this recipe using strawberries instead of raspberries as the raspberry seeds can be quite crunchy and not as nice to eat.

Ameka used some Chia Raspberry Jam in her Breakfast Pudding and the image below is proof that is looks amazing and I can certainly say that is tasted amazing…

You can also use Maple Syrup in this recipe if you are not a fan of Rice Malt Syrup. I like using RMS due to it not having any fructose. The less sugar the better!
