Blueberry Chia Seed Jam
This Blueberry Chia Seed Jam is one of those quietly brilliant recipes that feels like a little kitchen win every single time you make it. It’s naturally sweet, beautifully thick, and bursting with real blueberry flavour — no fancy equipment, no long simmering times, and no refined sugar. Perfect for spreading on gluten free low carb toast, swirling through yogurt, spooning over pancakes, or even layering into desserts.
Using frozen blueberries makes this jam extra convenient and budget-friendly, while chia seeds work their magic to thicken everything into that classic jammy texture we all love. The result is a vibrant, fruity spread that tastes fresh and comforting at the same time, with just the right balance of sweetness and tang.
Benefits of Each Ingredient
Blueberries – Packed with natural sweetness and rich berry flavour, blueberries bring colour, antioxidants, and that unmistakable fruity depth to the jam.
Chia Seeds – These tiny seeds absorb liquid and swell, naturally thickening the jam while adding fibre and a lovely, spoonable texture.
Maple Syrup – Gently sweetens the jam with a warm, caramel-like note that complements the blueberries without overpowering them.
Simple, wholesome, and endlessly versatile — this is the kind of jam you’ll want to keep stocked in your fridge at all times
