Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 Tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup almond milk
- ½ Tablespoon maple syrup (or honey or sweetener of choice)
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Toppings (Optional)
- Fresh berries or other fruit
- Granola
- Nut butter
Instructions
- Mix: In a bowl or mason jar, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract if using. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is evenly combined. If using a jar, you can put the lid on and shake well to mix.
- Set: Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir or shake again to break up any clumps of chia seeds. Cover the container and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours or overnight until the pudding thickens and becomes creamy in texture.
- Adjust Thickness: If the pudding is too thin after refrigeration, add an additional tablespoon of chia seeds, stir well, and refrigerate for another 30 minutes to allow it to thicken further.
- Serve: Top with your choice of fresh berries, fruit, granola, or nut butter before serving for added flavor and texture.
- Store: Keep any leftovers stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5–7 days.
Notes
- Chia seeds absorb liquid and thicken over time; stirring after initial rest prevents clumping.
- Use any plant-based milk for a dairy-free option or regular milk if preferred.
- Sweetener can be adjusted or omitted based on taste and dietary needs.
- This pudding is a great make-ahead breakfast or snack that is easy to customize.
- Store in a sealed container to maintain freshness and texture.
