medium bowl or jar with lid

spoon or whisk

Ingredients

Base

  • 1
    0.25 cup chia seeds
  • 2
    1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

Sweeteners

  • 1
    1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)

Flavorings

  • 1
    0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract

Toppings (optional)

  • 1
    0.25 cup fresh berries
  • 2
    0.1 cup nuts or seeds
  • 3
    0.1 cup shredded coconut

Directions

1

Combine Ingredients

In a medium-sized bowl or a jar with a lid, combine the chia seeds, milk, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract. Ensure all ingredients are well mixed. Using a whisk or spoon can help prevent clumps. This ensures that all the seeds are in contact with the liquid for proper swelling.

2

Stir Thoroughly

Stir the mixture thoroughly for about 30 seconds. This helps distribute the chia seeds evenly and prevent them from clumping together at the bottom of the bowl or jar.

3

Cover the Mixture

Cover the bowl or seal the jar with a lid. If using a bowl, use plastic wrap or a reusable lid to cover. This is important to prevent a skin from forming on the pudding.

4

Refrigerate

Place the covered bowl or jar in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency. The pudding will thicken as it sits.

5

Check Consistency

Once the pudding has set, remove it from the refrigerator. Give it a quick stir. If the pudding is too thick, you can add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.

6

Serve and Top

Spoon the chia seed pudding into serving bowls or glasses. Top with your choice of fresh berries, nuts, seeds, or coconut, as desired. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for later.

Recipe Tips

  • For the best texture, use a high-quality milk (dairy or non-dairy) and ensure the chia seeds are fresh.
  • Adjust the amount of sweetener and vanilla extract to your preference.
  • Experiment with different flavor combinations by adding cocoa powder, cinnamon, or citrus zest to the mixture.
  • If you don't have a jar with a lid, a bowl covered with plastic wrap works just as well.
  • Store the pudding in the fridge for up to 3 days in a sealed container.
