This appetizer/side dish is extremely easy and will please a large crowd. You can serve it as a salad, or as a dip with tortilla chips (preferably baked chips). You can make this recipe from scratch using dried beans (cooked and cooled) and homemade dressing using the ingredients below (it’s really not that hard), or make it super easy by using canned beans and store-bought Italian dressing, which isn’t quite as healthy. BPA is a potential concern in canned foods, and store-bought dressings often have artificial ingredients and added sugar.

Vegetarian Baked Beans

This easy, vegetarian (and vegan) baked beans recipe is satisfyingly savory without being overly sweet. Most brands of canned baked beans contain about 12g (or 1 tablespoon) of sugar per 1/2 cup serving. In addition, most recipes call for bacon, which is a processed meat. This recipe has neither, making it low in added sugar and free of meat of any kind. The small amount added sugar is in the form of 1 tablespoon of molasses. Molasses is still sugar, and although it contains healthy minerals, let’s be real, you’re not going to get a significant amount of from 1 tablespoon divided by 6 servings.

Berry Chia Jam

A very easy way to make a fruity jam.

Course Side Dish
Keyword chia, fruit, no cook
Prep Time 5 minutes
Servings 8

Ingredients

  • 10 ounce bag frozen blueberries or other berries, thawed or 2 cups fresh
  • 2 Tablespoons chia seeds
  • Sweetener to taste (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mash berries with a fork. You can also pulse them in a food processor or blender

  2. Add optional sweetener to taste, then mix in chia seeds.

  3. Cover or transfer to a container with a lid. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set. Add more chia seeds to thicken if necessary. Store in the refrigerator up to 5 days.

  • If using fresh berries, you may need to briefly cook them to release the liquid, which will be absorbed by the chia seeds and thicken the jam.
  • Serving suggestions: plain yogurt, oatmeal, whole grain baked goods, or chia pudding
  • Try other berries too – raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries
  • To make this recipe vegan, do not use honey as a sweetener.
  • Alternatively, you can briefly cook this recipe to speed up the gelling process. In a small saucepan, combine berries, a little water, and chia seeds. Heat over low heat for 5-10 minutes or until the chia seeds have started to gel (it will thicken more as it cools). If it is too runny, add 1-2 more tsp of chia seeds and continue heating until desired consistency is reached. Add sweetener to taste.
