Sugar Free Blueberry Jam Recipe – How to make easy low carb keto friendly 3 ingredient chia seed jam with no added refined sugars – with the video tutorial.
Sugar Free Blueberry Jam
Celebrate blueberry season with this sugar free blueberry jam recipe that has no added sugar and is low in net carbs, making it perfect to enjoy as part of a low carb, ketogenic diet.
You only need 3 natural ingredients for the easy blueberry jam – whole blueberries, chia seeds and stevia. You can of course swap the blueberries for any berries you like and substitute the stevia with your low carb sweetener or white sugar alternative of choice that you can find at your local grocery store.
If blueberries aren’t in season you can feel free to use frozen blueberries, which means you can enjoy the perfect jam and fresh blueberry flavor all year around.
This recipe uses chia seeds as the perfect way to thicken and set the jam, while adding plenty of healthy fiber, without the need for pectin that’s usually used in regular jam.
I prefer to simply mash the healthy blueberry jam with a potato masher for a thick texture. If you’d prefer a smoother texture, then you can pop the cooled jam into a blender or use an immersion blender until smooth to your liking.
Adding a little lemon juice, lime juice or vanilla extract can enhance the natural flavor of jam recipes, so feel free to add some into your healthier homemade jam.
You can enjoy the homemade blueberry jam in any of the following keto friendly ways:
- As a low carb bread spread or in a keto peanut butter and jelly sandwich
- Mixed through low carb yogurt
- As an ice cream topping
- With keto waffles
- With keto pancakes
- With keto bread
- To sandwich together keto breakfast cookies
Sugar Free Blueberry Chia Jam Recipe
- 10.5oz-17.7oz/300g-500g Frozen or Fresh Blueberries
- 1/4 Cup of Stevia or your favorite sweetener
- 1/4 Cup of Chia Seeds
- Place the blueberries into a medium saucepan on the stove top over medium heat.
- Heat, stirring regularly, until the blueberries come to a full boil and have become soft and can easily be mashed with the back of a spoon or fork.
- Take the sauce pan off of the heat and mash the hot jam until smooth. I like to use a potato masher to mash the berries.
- Add the chia seeds and stevia, stir until well combined. Taste to be sure the jam is sweet enough, stirring through more stevia, if needed.
- Allow to cool and then pour the jam into a jar and store in the fridge.
- Use within a week and enjoy.
