How to make simple chia pudding
Description
This Simple Chia Pudding recipe uses white chia seeds mixed with milk, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract. The ingredients are combined in a jar, shaken vigorously, then refrigerated. After an hour, shaking again helps prevent clumping before chilling for at least four hours or overnight to allow the seeds to absorb the liquid and swell, creating a smooth, pudding-like consistency that is slightly gelatinous but not overly thick.
The pudding’s mild vanilla and maple notes provide gentle sweetness and aroma, making it a subtle base to complement toppings like fresh fruit or toasted nuts. Its texture is unique, offering a soft chewiness from the hydrated chia seeds without graininess.
Serving it cold is recommended, and it can be customized by adjusting the sweetness with maple syrup or substituting with honey or agave syrup for similar results.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup chia seed white
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 Tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients in a pint jar. Cover the jar with a lid and give it a vigorous shake.
- Chill for about an hour, then return to the jar and shake it up. Let chill for at least 4 hours and overnight is even better.
- Chia seeds will expand and turn into pudding the consistency of applesauce (it won't get really thick).
- Serve cold with sliced fruit or toasted nuts on top.
Notes
- Maple syrup dissolves more easily into milk than honey but honey or agave syrup can be used as alternatives.
