This recipe couldn’t get simpler and is an amazing tool to have in your home-cooking arsenal. I use it frequently in these homemade granola bars, but it would also be delicious (and add fiber) stirred into oatmeal, spooned over vanilla ice cream, or spread over this homemade sourdough from The Clever Carrot (after you review my guide to/thoughts on sourdough starter here).

Ingredients
- 1 cup raspberries
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (I’m lucky enough to have homemade syrup at my disposal. You could also use granulated sugar, honey, or another sweetener of your choice.)
SUGGESTED EQUIPMENT:
● Measuring cups
Instructions
Warm the raspberries in a saucepan over medium-high heat until they are warmed through and beginning to bubble.
Use a fork to stir/mash the fruit into an even consistency.
Add the chia seeds and maple syrup (or other sweetener) and stir to combine.
Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes. (It will thicken as it cools and the chia seeds expand.)
Taste and add more sweetener, if needed.
