Ingredients
Scale
Toast
- 1 slice toasted bread
Chia Jam
- 2 cups raspberries (fresh or frozen strawberries can be substituted)
- 1/2 juiced lemon
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
Nut Butter
- 2 tablespoons nut butter or seed butter of choice
Instructions
- Warm the berries: Add the raspberries to a small pot and heat over medium heat until they are warmed through. Use a fork or masher to gently mash the berries to release their juices and break them down.
- Add lemon, chia seeds, and sweetener: Stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice, chia seeds, and maple syrup if using. Continue to cook the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until the jam thickens to your desired consistency, usually about 5-7 minutes.
- Store leftovers: Transfer any leftover chia jam into a clean container and refrigerate. It can be kept fresh for up to two days.
- Assemble the toast: Spread the nut butter generously over the toasted bread slice. Then top it with the prepared chia berry jam, spreading it evenly for a perfect balance of flavors and textures.
Notes
- You can use fresh or frozen berries depending on availability.
- Maple syrup is optional and can be adjusted based on desired sweetness or omitted for a sugar-free option.
- Any nut or seed butter works well such as almond butter, peanut butter, or sunflower seed butter.
- The chia seeds help thicken the jam naturally and add fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
- Store jam in an airtight container in the fridge and consume within 2 days for freshness.
