This thick, glossy keto blueberry jam has just four ingredients and comes together in under 25 minutes! It’s perfect for spreading on keto toast, swirling into Greek yogurt, or layering in low-carb desserts.

Since starting intermittent fasting, I have stopped having much breakfast. But this jam is a nice treat for those days when I felt like a treat that reminded me of childhood comfort food. Just a dollop of this jam on a hot keto toast with a blob of butter, and all is right with my world!
Recipe Highlights
- Under 3 grams of net carbs per serve
- Frozen blueberries work too – make this jam in any season.
- Keto-friendly & Sugar-Free – Sweetened with your favorite keto-friendly sweetener.
- Only 4 Ingredients – No pectin or preservatives needed.
INGREDIENT LIST
- Blueberries (fresh or frozen) – I have used frozen
Keto sweetener – erythritol, allulose, monk fruit, xylitol – you only need 1/4 cup as the blueberries taste sweeter after being cooked.
Allulose gives the smoothest texture, but any 1:1 sweetener works.
Chia seeds – Help thicken the jam naturally and add fiber. If you want to skip these, cook the jam until you are happy with the thickness.
Lemon juice – Balances the sweetness and enhances the berry flavor.
Step by Step to make Keto Blueberry Jam
The jam is very easy to make.
Add Ingredients to Pan: In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, sweetener, and lemon juice.
Cook Down: Heat over medium, stirring frequently, until the blueberries burst and the mixture thickens (about 8–10 minutes).
Mash: Use a fork or potato masher to break down the berries to your desired consistency.
Add Chia Seeds: Stir in chia seeds and cook for 2–3 more minutes. It will thicken as it cools.
Variations Of This Recipe
Substitute blueberries with strawberries for a beautifully balanced sweet and tart strawberry jam.
