Chia Seed Pudding
Description
This pudding is created by mixing unsweetened almond milk with chia seeds, maple syrup, and a touch of cinnamon in a jar, then shaking and chilling the mixture. The chia seeds absorb the liquid over several hours, forming a gel-like consistency that thickens into pudding. Stirring it after a few hours helps prevent clumping and ensures an even texture.
The flavor is mildly sweet and subtly spiced, with a lightly creamy mouthfeel from the almond milk. Toppings can introduce tartness from cherries or blueberries, crunch from nuts and granola, or additional sweetness and texture from coconut flakes and extra maple syrup.
This pudding works well as a healthy snack or breakfast option that can be prepared ahead of time. Its versatility allows adaptation to different dietary preferences and flavor combinations.
