1 tbsp chia seeds soaked in 4 tbsp warm water

Method
Base
Cream margarine, sugar, vanilla and chia mixture until creamy and well combined.
Stir in sifted flours and milk
Line a 30 cm x 25 cm pan with baking paper and spread mixture .
Microwave jam for up to 60 seconds to make it easier to spread.
Spoon onto base and spread with back of spoon.
Sprinkle with sultanas.
Make topping: cream margarine and sugar until creamy. Add chia mixture and beat with wooden spoon until combined.  Stir in sifted flour and then coconut in two halves (for easier combining).
Spoon topping over slice and spread evenly with fork.
Bake for 20 minutes at 180 degrees celcius or until golden on top.
Stand for 10 minutes before slicing.

Here it is boxed for lunch 🙂
