Chia Seed Jam
Chia jam is a quick, no-fuss way to turn fresh or frozen fruit into something spreadable, naturally thick, and lightly sweet. It skips the stove, relies on chia’s gelling power instead of pectin, and works just as well on toast as it does stirred into yogurt or oatmeal.
Ingredients
- 1 cup berries fresh or thawed from frozen
- 1-2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1-2 tsp maple syrup or honey adjust to taste
- 1/2 tsp lemon juice optional
Instructions
- Mash berries in a bowl with a fork or potato masher.
- Stir in chia seeds and sweetener of choice.
- Let sit for 15–30 minutes until thick and jammy.
