Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Low-carb bread
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 cup Fresh or frozen berries
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Sugar substitute (erythritol or monk fruit)
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the berries, water, and sugar substitute. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring often, until the berries break down and the mixture starts to bubble, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chia seeds, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix well until everything is combined. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to thicken. If you like a smoother texture, blend the mixture slightly using an immersion blender.
While the jam is thickening, toast the low-carb bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet over medium heat until golden brown and crisp to your preference.
Spread the cream cheese evenly over each slice of toasted bread.
Once the chia seed jam has thickened, spread a tablespoon or more, as desired, over the cream cheese on each toast slice.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb cream cheese and jam toast for a delightful breakfast or snack.
