Blueberry Chia Jam Toast with Greek Yogurt
Creamy Greek yogurt and homemade blueberry chia jam piled onto whole grain toast—sweet, satisfying, and ready in minutes. Perfect for a quick breakfast, a wholesome snack, or anytime you're craving a little jam session on a plate!
Ingredients
- 1 slice whole grain bread, toasted
- ½ cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 2 teaspoon chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons flavored Greek yogurt
- Optional honey to drizzle on top
Instructions
- Warm blueberries: Microwave the blueberries in a microwave-safe bowl just until they soften and release their juices — start with 30–40 seconds, then microwave in 10–15 second bursts as needed (microwaves vary!).
- Mash blueberries: Remove from microwave (be careful, it’ll be hot), and mash the larger pieces with a fork or the back of a spoon. This will help breakup some of the larger chunks.
- Thicken with chia: Remove from microwave, stir in chia seeds and allow to set for about 5 minutes. Stir again.
- Assemble the toast: Spread yogurt on toast, top with jammy blueberries, and drizzle any leftover berry liquid and optional honey over the top.
Notes
• Nutrition: Info provided for 1 slice without honey drizzle. Add 20 calories for ½ teaspoon drizzle honey.
• Jam consistency: The addition of chia seeds mixed into the syrupy blueberries, enables the liquid to become thicker and jammier. You can also swap in ground flaxmeal or skip the chia seeds completely and leave the liquid thinner to pour over the top of your toast.
• To make jam on stovetop: Add your blueberries (fresh or frozen) to a small pan and cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes (on the longer end for frozen berries), stirring occasionally until the berries break down and release their juices. Mash blueberries with a fork as they soften. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in chia seeds. Let the mixture sit for at least 15 minutes at room temperature—it will begin to thicken and form a gel. Transfer to an airtight container and stash in the fridge; it will continue to thicken. It will keep in the fridge for up to 10 days.
• Jam storage: To store jam, place in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 10 days.
• Greek yogurt: Feel free to use any favorite flavored Greek yogurt. You can also swap the yogurt out for cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, or even a spread of light cream cheese.
