Ingredients
Mixed Berry Jam
- 3 cups frozen mixed berries
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- pinch sea salt
- 3 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
Coconut Overnight Oats
- 1 can coconut milk
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 3 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
- 1 banana, sliced for topping
Instructions
Mixed Berry Jam
-
In a medium pot, stir together the berries and maple syrup. Add a pinch of salt. Simmer over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes until softened. Expect the berries to sweat a fair bit during this time, it's steamy in there.
-
Add the chia seeds and stir to combine. Continue simmering and stirring frequently (turn down the heat as necessary to prevent sticking) about 5-10 minutes longer, until most of the water cooks off and the jam is thickened.
-
Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Transfer the whole lot to a bowl and into the fridge, uncovered, until completely cool, at least two hours.
Coconut Overnight Oats
-
In a medium container stir together an entire can of coconut milk, oats, chia seeds, honey and cardamom until combined. Cover and chill for 1-2 hours, or overnight. The oats will soften and the mixture will thicken. Mix it up to combine before using.
-
Layer the mixed berry jam, overnight oats and sliced banana into small jars. Secure lids or cover with plastic wrap. The leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. The jam will keep in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze any leftover jam in freezer bags and thaw it for later use.
