This homemade spiced plum jam is a delicious treat that's perfect for spreading on toast, muffins, or scones. It's made with fresh plums, sweetened with maple syrup, and flavored with warm spices like cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Plus, it's refined sugar-free and vegan!

Ingredients: 1 kg plums, pitted and chopped. 1/2 cup maple syrup. 1/4 cup water. 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger. 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves. 1 tablespoon chia seeds.

Instructions: In a large saucepan, combine plums, maple syrup, water, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the plums are soft and the mixture has thickened. Remove from heat and stir in chia seeds. Let the jam cool for 10-15 minutes to allow the chia seeds to gel. Transfer the jam into sterilized jars and let it cool completely before sealing. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Warm spices like cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, and nutmeg are mixed into these vegan chai almond milk waffles to make them taste even better than usual. They're great for a cozy breakfast or brunch and don't have any dairy.

Ingredients: 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour. 2 teaspoons baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 2 tablespoons brown sugar. 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon. 1 teaspoon ground ginger. 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom. 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves. 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg. 1 3/4 cups almond milk. 1/4 cup melted coconut oil. 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar.

Instructions: Follow the directions that came with your waffle iron to heat it up. Mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, brown sugar, and spices together in a large bowl using a whisk. Melt the coconut oil in a different bowl and mix the almond milk, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar together with a whisk. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ones and mix them together just until they are mixed. A few lumps are fine; don't mix it too much. If you need to, spray non-stick cooking spray on the waffle iron. Place enough batter on the waffle iron that has already been heated to cover the waffle grid. Close the lid and cook according to the directions on the package, which is usually until the food is golden brown and crispy. Do it again with the rest of the batter. You can top the warm waffles with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or vegan whipped cream, or anything else you like.
