Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat Berries: Place 2 cups of frozen berries in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally for about 5-7 minutes until thawed and bubbling slightly.
  2. Mash Berries: Remove from heat and use a fork or potato masher to break down the berries to your desired texture.
  3. Add Chia Seeds: Stir in 2 tablespoons of chia seeds and optional maple syrup. Mix well to distribute chia seeds evenly.
  4. Thicken: Let the mixture sit for about 5-10 minutes to thicken as chia seeds absorb excess liquid.
