Instant Blueberry Jam


The secret to this instant jam is the chia seeds!  WOW ..... it's tasty and super easy!

I've been making the coconut pancakes about once a week and was missing the drizzling syrup. That's when I decided to create a blueberry jam that can substitute as a syrup.






All I did was this:

I took a big handful of frozen blueberries probably 1/2 cup, a couple Tbsp of water and 1/2 tsp chia seeds. I put it in the microwave for 1 minute. Smashed the blueberries with a fork, stirred it until it became thick. If it's too tart, you can add 1/2 tsp - 1 tsp stevia sweetener. It would probably be best to strain the blueberry skins out, but I kind of liked them. It gave it a good texture. Store the leftovers in a sealed glass container in the fridge.
