    This Blueberry Chia Seed Jam reminds me of my Mixed Berry Chia Seed Jam. The main difference is that this jam uses Maple Syrup as it's sweetener versus honey in the mixed berry jam. Both rely on the chia seeds as a thickening agent.

    Blueberries are probably my favorite type of berry to eat. I just wish they weren't so dang expensive! Good thing a little goes a long way. This recipe will yield a good 16 ounces of blueberry jam deliciousness!

    💭 Benefits of Chia Seeds

    Chia Seeds are a good source of protein, they are high in nutrients, they are good for digestion, help increase energy and endurance and are naturally filling.

    Blueberry Jam is not only for toast. I've used this blueberry jam on New York Style cheesecake and my wife has used it on ice cream. However you decide to use this jam, it will be fabulous. Trust me. This is one blueberry chia seed jam recipe!
