Creamy Coffee Chia Pudding
Description
The Creamy Coffee Chia Pudding begins by stirring together chia seeds with cooled strong coffee, canned full-fat coconut milk, powdered sweetener (or honey/maple syrup), and optional vanilla, cinnamon, and almond butter for added flavor layers. The mixture is refrigerated for at least 20 minutes or overnight, allowing the chia seeds to swell and create a pudding consistency. Stirring before serving ensures even texture and incorporates any settled chia seeds.
This pudding offers a creamy, coffee-flavored treat that balances the nuttiness of almond butter and warmth of cinnamon when included. The coconut milk adds richness and smoothness, while the coffee provides a gentle caffeine kick.
Portioned into two servings of about 3/4 cup each, this dish works well as a make-ahead breakfast, light dessert, or snack. The pudding keeps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
