Stir in raw sugar and chia seeds.

Fold in the chopped strawberries and almond flakes. This is a thick batter.
Spoon into the prepared pan. Smoothen the top. Sprinkle some more chopped strawberries and almond flakes if you like.
Bake at 180C for 45 -50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.

Dredge with icing sugar and serve warm. Enjoy!
