Quick & Easy Chia Seed Jam
- Heat 1 cup of fruit (fresh or frozen) in a saucepan over medium heat until it starts to bubble.
- Mash to your preferred texture and remove from heat.
- Stir in chia seeds and let sit until thickened.
- Optional: Add 1 tablespoon maple syrup and a splash of lemon juice for brightness.
It works beautifully with blueberries, strawberries, or peaches — whatever you have in your freezer or find fresh at the market.
The Chocolate That Makes It Special
The thin chocolate shell on top gives these breakfast cups their “wow” factor. Pascha 100% Cacao Dark Chocolate with Cocoa Nibs delivers rich, deep flavor without added sugar or dairy — a pure, clean chocolate experience that elevates every spoonful.
Paired with creamy yogurt and jam, it creates a perfect contrast of textures: cool, smooth, and just a little bit crunchy.
Make It Your Own
- Add granola between the jam and chocolate layer for extra crunch.
- Mix a scoop of nut butter into the yogurt for a boost of protein.
- Use seasonal fruit jams — like summer berries or fall pears — to change up the flavor all year long.
These Make Ahead Breakfast Cups prove that healthy mornings don’t have to be complicated. They’re easy, elegant, and give you something delicious to look forward to — even on your busiest days.
