Chia Seed Berry Jam
This 3-ingredient chia seed berry jam is perfect to top with your next snack. All you need is berries and chia seeds! Vegan.
Servings: 1 Cup
Ingredients
- 2 cups berries of choice (I used blueberries and strawberries);, fresh or frozen
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon orange juice
Optional:
- 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup;, depending on the sweetness of your berries
Instructions
- In a small pan, heat the berries on medium-high heat until they start to bubble.
- Mash the berries to your desired consistency.
- Add the chia seeds and orange juice and stir. If you prefer the maple syrup, add it in at this time.
- Let the mixture cool on the stove (about 5-10 minutes). You can use it immediately or store it in the fridge to eat it cold.
- Top it on some toast, granola, greek yogurt, pancakes, bagels, waffles, or even on a smoothie bowl!
Notes
- If you want a finer texture for the jam, grind the chia seeds in a coffee grinder.
- If you don't like the berry chunks, grind the berries before adding the chia seeds.
- Other flavor options: vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg.
