Ingredients
Method
Gather and prepare your ingredients.
Place the raspberries and maple syrup into a small saucepan over medium heat for 5–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they break down, are bubbling, and foaming up.
Stir through the chia seeds, and turn off the heat. Leave to cool for 10–15 minutes — the chia seeds will absorb the liquid and thicken it more as it cools.
Store in a clean jar in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Fabulous way to give the whole family chia seeds in their morning yogurt without the need to soak each time. I've made it with mixed berries or single berries they are all delicious and it's super easy. Well done Dr R and team
Very nice; realistic with flavour
Absolutely delicious and so easy! I love the flavour - tangy but a bit sweet with the maple. LOVE
I used plums as I have a garden glut -really lovely topping for fruit and yoghurt.
Made with strawberry/blueberry mix.
I did grind the chia seeds first.
Substituted orange juice for maple syrup with organic orange peel strips.
So tasty and looking forward to using as a yoghurt topper as well as anything else suitable.
Absolutely fantastic! So easy to make.
Delicious. Will make on a permanent rotation!
It's even easier if you start with frozen berries, just microwave until the berries are warmed and then mash so the juices come out, add in the chia seeds (I skip the syrup) and voila! (and if you start this when you are mixing pancakes it'll be thickened up by the time your pancakes are on the table!)
Such a delicious way to nudge up your fibre intake! I’ll definitely try this with mixed berries too.
Lovely taste. Used 3 dates instead and added in 6 tablespoons of water to have a less thick consistency. Sweeteners v well.

Perfect for a healthy, sweet accompaniment to anything. Very easy to make with a variety of frozen or fresh berries. I used mainly blackberries and left over red and blackcurrants.
100% recommend. I now have some of this with my breakfast every morning.
Fab, easy recipe. I made this with a mixture of blueberries, raspberries and blackberries and found it to be sweet enough made with just half the suggested quantity of maple syrup.
