Chia Berries Jam

June 7, 2021 • Breakfast, GF, Plant-based, Spread

I love making a pot or 2 to keep in the fridge and enjoy it for breakfast on a piece of toast, on my pancakes or my porridge. It’s super simple, loaded with antioxidants (from both chia and berries). Chia is also packed with proteins, fibres and omega-3. I make it with frozen organic berries (available through the year) and a tiny bit of maple syrup.

Ingredients

1 pot

300g of organic frozen berries
(I like a mix of blueberries and raspberries)
3 tbsp of chia seeds
1-3 tbsp of maple syrup
(depending of how sweet you want it)

Method

In a saucepan, heat the frozen berries on a medium heat for around 10 min, stirring from time to time. You want them to get soft and mashed.

Now add the chia seeds and maple and reduce to a low heat. Cook for another 10 min, stirring occasionally.

Transfer in a sterilised jar and let it cool before storing in the fridge.
