Blueberry and Cinnamon Jam

~With naturally sweeteners~

You will love this super easy and quick recipe – it’s healthy, naturally sweetened, and the perfect base for so many creations at home. Make a jar, keep it in the fridge, and use it all week long instead of the store-bought jams filled with sugar and additives. This one has just a handful of wholesome ingredients, no pectin needed, and still thickens beautifully thanks to the chia seeds.

I added a touch of cinnamon, because I’m absolutely obsessed with it – it pairs beautifully with the delightful aroma of the blueberries and makes every spoonful feel cozy (but of course, you can totally skip it if it’s not to your taste). The result? An adorable, suuuper easy jam that you can spread on toast, swirl into yogurt, spoon over oatmeal, or drizzle on pancakes. Once you try it, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.

Why you’ll love it
