RASPBERRY CHIA JAM ON RICE CAKE

Raspberry Chia Jam on Rice Cake is a wholesome, delicious and nutrient-packed snack that offers the perfect balance of crunch, natural sweetness and a touch of indulgence. A crisp rice cake provides a light and airy base, while homemade raspberry chia jam delivers fruity flavour, fibre, and omega-3 fatty acids. A drizzle of honey enhances the sweetness, complementing the tartness of the raspberries. This quick and easy snack is perfect for a midday pick-me-up, a light breakfast, or a post-workout refuel. Unlike store-bought jams loaded with preservatives and refined sugars, homemade chia jam uses natural fruit and nutrient-dense chia seeds, making it a healthier alternative. This combination is not only satisfying but also nourishing, making it an excellent choice for those looking to maintain a balanced diet. This simple yet satisfying recipe is a fantastic way to enjoy a sweet treat without guilt.

PREPARATION

  • Prepare The Raspberry Chia Jam: If not already made, combine fresh raspberries and chia seeds in a bowl, mash with a fork and let it rest for 15 minutes to thicken. This jam can be made ahead of time and stored for easy use.
  • Assemble The Snack: Place the rice cake on a plate and evenly spread the raspberry chia jam on top, making sure to cover the entire surface for a balanced bite.
  • Drizzle With Honey: Lightly drizzle ½ tsp of honey over the jam for added sweetness. A spoon or honey dipper works well to distribute the honey evenly.
  • Serve Immediately: Enjoy fresh for the best texture and flavour. Since rice cakes absorb moisture quickly, it’s best to eat this snack right after assembling.

TIPS

  • Choose The Right Rice Cake: Opt for a plain or lightly salted rice cake for the best balance of flavours. Whole grain or brown rice cakes provide extra fibre.
  • Make Jam Ahead Of Time: Homemade chia jam keeps well in the fridge for up to a week, making this snack even quicker to prepare.
  • Use Warm Honey: Slightly warming the honey makes it easier to drizzle evenly over the jam.
  • Boost Texture: Add a sprinkle of crushed nuts, seeds or shredded coconut for extra crunch.
  • Vary Sweetness: Adjust the honey amount based on personal preference, or use maple syrup for a vegan alternative.
  • Pair With A Beverage: Enjoy this snack with a cup of herbal tea or almond milk for a complete and satisfying experience.

VARIATIONS

  • Nut Butter Addition: Spread a thin layer of almond, cashew or peanut butter before adding the jam for extra protein and richness.
  • Berry Swap: Replace raspberry jam with homemade strawberry, blueberry or mixed berry chia jam for a different flavour.
  • Chocolate Drizzle: Melt a small amount of dark chocolate and drizzle over the top for a dessert-like variation.
  • Yoghurt Topping: Add a dollop of Greek or coconut yoghurt for extra creaminess and probiotics.
  • Cinnamon Kick: Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg over the top for a warm, spiced flavour.
  • Savoury Twist: Skip the honey and replace it with a sprinkle of sea salt or crushed nuts for a delicious version.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store leftover chia jam in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Stir before use if separation occurs.
  • Freezing: Freeze small portions of chia jam in an ice cube tray and thaw as needed for convenient future use.
  • Best When Fresh: Rice cakes can become soggy over time, so it’s best to assemble them just before serving. If prepping in advance, store the ingredients separately.
  • Meal Prep Friendly: Make a batch of chia jam at the beginning of the week to have this snack ready in minutes whenever you need it.
