Easy Chia Seed Pudding

Easy Chia Seed Pudding is made by soaking chia seeds in almond milk sweetened with maple syrup, optionally flavored with vanilla extract. As the seeds absorb the liquid, the mixture thickens to a creamy, spoonable texture resembling pudding. Toppings like fresh berries, granola, or nut butters add flavor and texture variety, making this a versatile and nutritious dish.

Ingredients

  • 4 Tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • ½ Tablespoon maple syrup honey or sweetener of choice*
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract optional
  • berries granola, nut butter, etc, fresh or other fruit, for topping

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a bowl or mason jar, stir together chia seeds, milk, maple syrup and vanilla, if using. If you’re using a mason jar, you can put the lid on and shake the mixture to combine everything.
  2. Once the chia pudding mixture is well combined, let it sit for 5 minutes, give it another stir/shake to break up any clumps of chia seeds, cover and put the mixture in the fridge to “set" for 1-2 hours or overnight. The chia pudding should be nice and thick, not liquidy. If it's not thick enough, just add more chia seeds (about 1 Tablespoon), stir and refrigerate for another 30 minutes or so.
  3. Chia pudding can be stored for up to 5-7 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Any milk type works, such as dairy, almond, cashew, or canned coconut milk for extra richness.
  • Adjust or omit sweetener to your preference, using options like honey, maple syrup, monk fruit, or stevia.
  • Store pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5 to 7 days.
  • If the pudding is too thin, add about 1 tablespoon more chia seeds, stir, and refrigerate again to thicken.
