Blackberry Chia Topping

It’s been a great weekend with a few new recipes I’ve tried out, and this one is a super simple.  I wasn’t home with the blackberries for more than 20 minutes before I had them made up and in the jars cooling down.  I know myself well enough that I can’t have blackberries in my house for more than 20 minutes before I eat them all, so this had to be done quickly!

I have been trying to steer away from unnecessary sweeteners, so this batch I made using none, but you could add a couple tablespoons of the sweetener of your choice if you prefer.

Ingredients

2 pints Blackberries

2 tsp Lemon Juice

1/4 cup chia seeds

(Opt: 2 Tbsp Sweetener of choice)

Directions

Clean blackberries & put in a pot on medium heat (if using sweetener, you can add it in at this time).  Cook for 5-8 minutes smashing down the blackberries as they break down during cooking.  Add the lemon juice and remove from heat.  Add the Chia seeds and stir well to incorporate.  Fill jars or food containers and let cool at room temperature.

Tada!!  Blackberry-Chia topping.

I add this to low-carb plain yogurt or to whipped or un-whipped full-fat cream for a yummy Keto treat.

Enjoy!
