Description
A creamy, customizable pudding made with chia seeds, perfect for breakfast or as a light dessert.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey, agave, or a sugar-free sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Pour 1 cup of milk into a medium bowl or a jar with a lid.
- Add 2 tablespoons maple syrup and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir to combine.
- Sprinkle in 1/4 cup chia seeds while whisking or stirring briskly.
- Continue stirring for 20–30 seconds to distribute seeds and break up clumps.
- Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent pockets of dry seeds.
- Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours, ideally overnight.
- Before serving, give the pudding one last stir. If too thick, stir in a splash of milk to loosen.
Notes
For a richer pudding, use full-fat coconut milk or whole dairy milk. Reduce sweetener to taste. Blend for a smoother texture if desired.
