Chia Seed Pudding is an easy, delicious, and nutritious dessert or breakfast treat made from chia seeds soaked in creamy plant-based milk, naturally sweetened with honey or maple syrup (natural).

Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup plant-based milk (almond, oat, coconut, or soy)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons natural sweetener (maple syrup, agave nectar, or honey)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl or jar, whisk together the plant-based milk, natural sweetener, vanilla extract (natural), and a pinch of salt until well combined.
  2. Add Chia Seeds: Stir in the chia seeds, ensuring they are evenly distributed without clumping. This step sets the base for pudding’s signature texture.
  3. Refrigerate to Set: Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the pudding.
  4. Stir and Serve: Before serving, give the chia seed pudding a good stir to break up any clumps. Add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruits, nuts, or seeds for extra flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Stir chia seeds into the liquid slowly to prevent clumping and ensure a smooth texture.
  • Adjust pudding thickness by adding more chia seeds for a thicker consistency or more plant-based milk for a thinner consistency.
  • Start with less natural sweetener and adjust sweetness after the pudding sets to suit your taste.
  • For deeper flavor, mix in spices or cocoa powder during the initial combination step.
  • Store pudding covered in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days for freshness.
