❄️Since I’m currently living in a snow globe, making this sweet and comforting jam seemed like the best idea;)
🙌🏽You’ll need just 5 ingredients to make it, and it’s ready in less than 15 minutes from start to finish.
🥣Upgrade creamy oatmeal, overnight oats, pancakes, waffles, toast, and rice cakes by adding a few spoonfuls of this goodness. Throw in some shredded coco and hemp hearts, and you have dessert for breakfast:)
INGREDIENTS
3-4 small 6 oz berry containers (I used blackberries and raspberries)
3-4 tbsp maple syrup, to taste
2 ½ tbsp organic chia seeds
Optional: ½ tsp pure vanilla powder, to taste (can sub vanilla extract if tolerated-not low histamine)
MAKE IT
1. On medium heat, bring berries to a boil, stirring frequently. Be sure to leave some chunks in for texture.
2. Once lightly boiling, turn down the heat to low.
3. Add chia seeds, stir, then add maple syrup and stir again.
4. Continue to cook for 7 more minutes (until desired consistency), stirring often.
5. Remove from heat, and add pure vanilla powder/extract. Stir, let cool, and pour into an air-tight jar. Store it in the refrigerator for up to a week.
💜LOW HISTAMINE: use only ¼ c raspberries (per mastcell360.com) to keep it low histamine, so sub the rest with blackberries and/or blueberries. Also, use pure vanilla powder (instead of extract)
**GF/DF/LOW-HISTAMINE (I followed mastcell360 low histamine foods list very strictly initially, then added some foods from the SIGHI list as I began to tolerate more foods, all under the care of a dietitian. A low histamine diet is restrictive and not meant to be followed long-term, as nutrient deficiencies may develop.)**
