My Coconut Flour Muffin Recipe merged with Strawberry Chia Jam makes these splendidly vivid and flavorful Strawberry Chia Seed Muffins. These wholesome strawberry muffins make a great breakfast, snack or dessert and they are gluten free, paleo and clean taking in.

These Strawberry Chia Seed Muffins were being formulated as aspect of the recipe tests process for my E-book Coconut Flour Muffins, Pancakes & Mug Cakes. They didn’t make the reserve – not for absence of flavor or deliciousness, but due to the fact I adjusted system and ended up with more muffin recipes than could suit in the reserve.

We weren’t able to spend the holiday break period with our families, but we are now having ready to enjoy a several freezing weeks in Canada – NOT!! On the freezing winter season weather aspect. Though, I am thrilled to see Olivia’s response to her initial (acutely aware) snow.

Normally, this summer soul (with a birthday in December) is thoroughly great to spend the overall time indoors – hanging out with family members and enjoying central heating. And using care of the inevitable paperwork that constantly looks to wait around for us, when we return to Canada.

To get ready for this impending excursion, I required to function in advance. When in Canada, I want to spend as tiny time as probable doing the job and all the far more time with our families – because we only get to see them one-2 moments a 12 months.

When wanting at the calendar, I recognized that Valentine’s Day was approaching awfully rapidly and I didn’t truly have any fitting recipes organized. Until eventually, I remembered these grain free muffins with strawberry chia jam.

When these aren’t decadent Valentine’s chocolates or intimate supper for two, the vivid crimson strawberry swirl tends to make them quite fitting. These gluten free strawberry muffins are perfect for Valentine’s breakfast, snack time at the business, and would even make a great more healthy dessert.

What is Chia Jam

Now, let us commence with the jam. If you have ever wondered how to use chia seeds, chia seed jam is a person great way. Chia seed’s thickening skill is fantastic for making wholesome vegan jam – no cooking needed.

I initial built strawberry chia seed jam about 3 several years ago. And it truly couldn’t be considerably easier.

You only mash or mix any fruit to ideal consistency (chunky or sleek – whichever you like), incorporate a tiny lemon juice, sweeten with maple syrup and stir in chia seeds. Berries function very best in my view, because the slight crunch of the chia seeds blends in with that of the berry seeds.

It is equivalent to refrigerator strawberry jam, due to the fact it thickens about time, just after you stir it up. Also, since this chia jam recipe is not cooked and only frivolously sweetened, it really should be saved in the fridge.

Last but not least, for this strawberry coconut flour muffin recipe, I lower my initial chia jam recipe down to make just adequate for a dozen strawberry jam muffins.

How to make Chia Seed Muffins

Considering that coconut flour is presently super absorbent, I didn’t set any chia seeds in this paleo strawberry muffins batter.

Instead, the muffin batter and the chia strawberry jam are layered into the muffin cavities and then swirled alongside one another to generate this nice sample.

I feel, the chia seed strawberry jam is a great way to make strawberry muffins wholesome and vivid wanting. Commonly, just including blended strawberries to the batter doesn’t yield a actually pink muffin or cake (unless food stuff coloring is extra). 

However, this way, you have a vivid swirl of strawberry crimson and you can make these coconut flour strawberry muffins, no matter whether strawberries are in period or not. Considering that the strawberry jam with chia seeds can be built with new or frozen and thawed strawberries.
