Making a delicious and healthy Chia Seed Jam Recipe With Frozen Fruit is not only easy but also a fantastic way to enjoy the natural sweetness of fruits while avoiding excessive sugar. This recipe harnesses the benefits of chia seeds—tiny nutritional powerhouses packed with fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids—and the vibrant flavors of your favorite frozen fruits, resulting in a tasty, nutritious jam that's perfect for breakfast or as a snack.
Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups frozen fruit (choose from berries like strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or a mix)
1/4 cup chia seeds
2-4 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (adjust based on fruit sweetness)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
Instructions
Take your frozen fruit out of the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to soften slightly.
In a medium mixing bowl, use a fork or potato masher to mash the fruit to your desired consistency.
Stir in the chia seeds and mix well, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the fruit.
Add the maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until everything is combined.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and let the mixture sit at room temperature for about 15-30 minutes.
After letting it sit, give the jam another good stir. If it’s too thick, you can add a splash of water or more fruit puree.
Transfer the chia seed jam to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for about 1-2 weeks.
