About this recipe

In the kitchen today, we welcome personal chef Chef Krunchy Kate making grainy granola and blueberry chia jam.

These two make-ahead recipes are packed with protein and fiber and made without refined sugars.

Make yogurt parfaits by layering whole milk Greek yogurt with homemade grainy granola and blueberry jam, or make an elevated peanut butter and jelly with toast, almond butter, homemade jam and sliced grapes, blackberries and golden kiwi. Or better yet, make both and feature both items on a brunch spread, recommends Chef Krunchy Kate.

“A good tip for snackers is to wash fresh produce and leave it on the counter,” Kate said. “I do it at home on the weekends or after school, and my child is more likely to eat the pack of grapes that are washed.”

Ingredients

Grainy Granola

3½ cup cashews, pecans, pistachio, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds
¼ cup hemp
¼ cup chia seeds
3 tbsp coconut oil
¼ cup maple or date syrup
2 tbsp date, coconut or cane sugar
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp vanilla powder
1 tsp salt

Blueberry Chia Jam

2 cup blueberries
2 tbsp chia seeds
¼ cup water
2 cinnamon sticks, optional
2 tbsp honey, optional
1 lemon juice, optional

Directions

Grainy Granola

Preheat oven to 315 degrees.
Mix nuts and seeds in a large bowl.
Melt coconut oil and maple syrup together.
Add in vanilla and spice mix. Add in salt and sugar.
Stir to combine, and let set 5-10 minutes.
Add to parchment lined sheet pan and bake 20 minutes.
TIP: For clumpy granola, avoid stirring during baking.
Turn heat up to 325 and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
Turn off the oven, and let it cool with the door cracked open.

Blueberry Chia Jam

Fill a pot with frozen blueberries.
Fully submerge the berries with water, bring to a boil. Add cinnamon sticks if using, then turn low to simmer for 20-30 minutes.
If the berries are on the tarter side, add 2-3 tbsp of honey when simmering.
TIP: Taste the berries before adding honey to adjust sweetness.
Add chia seeds to the jar you will be storing your jam in.
Add in half the blueberry mixture and stir.
Once cooled, mix in the second half of the blueberry mixture. Stir, and cool.
Store in fridge for 3-4 weeks.
