Easy 3-Ingredient Strawberry Chia Seed Jam
I am a huge fan of homemade jam and this Easy 3-Ingredient Strawberry Chia Seed Jam is no exception! It is super easy to make with only 3-ingredients and no stove top required. This makes the perfect addition to any breakfast or snack and is 100% kid and adult approved.

To make this strawberry chia seed jam, I literally just chopped up fresh strawberries (frozen would work just as well so feel free to swap for frozen strawberries) and microwaved them until super soft. Then, I mashed them with a fork and added in the chia seeds and honey. I let it sit for about an hour while the chia seeds soaked up the liquid and then, it was ready to eat!

The honey is optional in this recipe. I typically think that fresh fruit does not need any sweetener added but this particular batch of strawberries were not as sweet as I wanted for the jam. Feel free to play around with the sweetener and add to taste.

Easy 3-Ingredient Strawberry Chia Seed Jam is awesome on toast with peanut butter for a healthier peanut butter and jelly sandwich or in this yogurt bowl with strawberry Greek yogurt, strawberry chia seed jam, granola, chia seeds and fresh sliced strawberries. It made such a delicious snack and would be great for breakfast too. The kids are going CRAZY over this jam!
