Add chia seeds and stir until combined.Bring heat back to med/low and let bubble until jam thickens, about 5-10 minutes. Make sure to stir every once in awhile to avoid burning! Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes before transferring to jars. Set aside too cool while you make the brownies.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease an 8-inch square pan with coconut oil or spray with cooking spray.

4. Gradually add cocoa powder, GF all-purpose flour, salt and baking powder to the wet ingredients while mixing. Mix until fully combined.
5. Pour batter into prepared pan. With a spoon, drops little dollops of jam randomly over the top of the batter. With a table knife, gently draw figure 8s through the jam and brownie batter to create a swirly pattern.
5. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
7. Let cool slightly, cut into squares and enjoy!!
