Combine all ingredients in a small sauce pot over medium heat. Break up with a spatula as the mixture simmers until thickened-sauce forms, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
For the French toast bites:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a mini-muffin tin with baking spray.
Whisk the eggs in a large bowl until beaten.
Add the milk, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom and whisk again until thoroughly combined.
Add the cubed bread and chia seeds and mix until well combined. Let sit for 5 minutes so that the bread can absorb the liquid.
Spoon bread mixture into muffin tin so that each one is about half full. Place a small spoonful of the blackberry ginger sauce on top of each one then spoon the remainder of the bread mixture on top of that.
Bake for about 25 minutes until puffed and golden brown around the edges. Remove from oven, let cool a few minutes before carefully removing from the muffin tin. Serve warm with additional maple syrup.
