Looking for a naturally sweet, wholesome alternative to traditional sugary jams? This Blueberry Chia Seed Jam is your answer! Packed with antioxidants, fiber, and omega-3s, it’s the perfect topping for toast, yogurt bowls, or your morning oats—and it’s 100% plant-based with no added sugar. 🍇✨

🫐 Ingredients:

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1–2 tablespoons water (as needed)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1–2 teaspoons lemon juice (for a tangy kick)
  • Optional: 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or stevia if you like it sweeter

🍴 Directions:

  1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the blueberries. Stir occasionally until they start to break down and bubble (about 5–7 minutes).
  2. Use a fork or potato masher to lightly mash the berries to your preferred texture.
  3. Stir in the chia seeds, lemon juice, and vanilla (if using). Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  4. Remove from heat. The mixture will thicken as it cools. If it’s too thick, stir in a little water.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness, if needed.
  6. Let the jam cool completely and store in a clean glass jar in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 1 week.
