How to make the Homemade Raspberry Jam:

This really is so much simpler than you might think, no thermometers, no preserving pans etc. Just fruit and a saucepan

Put the raspberries, maple syrup, lemon zest and juice into a heavy based saucepan
Over a low-medium heat, gently bubble for 10 minutes till the fruit is very mushy, stirring frequently
Add the chia seeds and bubble for a further 5 minutes, again stirring frequently then set aside to cool

Told you it was easy 🙂

Raspberry Muffins

prep: 20 mins / cook: 40 mins / inactive: 0 mins / total: 60 mins / quantity: 10 muffins

Ingredients

Jam

  • 500g raspberries – fresh or frozen
  • 1/2 lemon – grated zest and juice
  • 3 tblsp maple syrup
  • 3 tblsp chia seeds

Muffins

  • 1 large ripe banana
  • 3 tblsp almond butter
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 3 tblsp coconut sugar
  • 2 cups wholemeal flour
  • 2 + 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda

Instructions

  1. Start by making the jam.  Put the raspberries, maple syrup, lemon zest and juice into a heavy based saucepan (this helps lessen the chance of it burning if you forget to stir it frequently!)
  2. Over a low-medium heat, gently bubble for 10 minutes till the fruit is very mushy, stirring frequently
  3. Add the chia seeds and bubble for a further 5 minutes, again stirring frequently then set aside to cool
  4. Preheat your oven to 180 Fan / 200 C / 400 F / Gas 6 and line a muffin tin with 10 cases
  5. Peel the banana and break into chunks into a large bowl.  Mash with a fork or potato masher
  6. Whisk or stir in the honey almond butter, almond milk and coconut sugar
  7. Add the flour, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda and using a rubber spatula mix everything together lightly but until well incorporated
  8. Spoon the mixture into your muffin cases the plop on 1-2 tsp jam per muffin
  9. Use a cocktail stick or a skewer to swirl the jam through the muffin batter
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes until a cocktail stick or skewer comes out clean
  11. Leave to cool in the tin for 5 minutes then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely

Notes

  • If you make the full amount of jam - spoon into a tightly sealed jar but don't close the lid until completely cool.  Once cold, close the lid and store in the fridge for 3-4 weeks
  • The extra jam is great on toast or hot crumpets or perfect for these Oat and Raspberry Crumble Bars!
