Matcha Chia Pudding
Description
Matcha Chia Pudding is made by whisking matcha powder into dairy-free milk until smooth, then stirring in chia seeds and maple syrup. The mixture is chilled for at least two hours or overnight, during which the chia seeds absorb liquid and expand, thickening the pudding to a creamy consistency with gentle seed texture.
The earthy, mildly bitter notes of matcha balance with the subtle sweetness from maple syrup. Toppings such as raspberries and almonds add freshness and crunch, complementing the pudding's smoothness. This recipe is simple and does not rely on eggs or dairy, suitable for vegan preferences.
Prepared in individual jars or containers, this pudding is convenient for make-ahead breakfasts or snacks. It stores well refrigerated for up to one week and can be frozen in portions for longer storage.
Substitutions can include different milk types or sweeteners, but following the original ratio ensures the proper texture and flavor balance.
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons matcha green tea powder
- 1 cup dairy-free milk
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- ½ tablespoon maple syrup
- raspberries toppings
- almonds toppings
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the matcha green tea powder with the milk and whisk until smooth and not clumped.
- Add the chia seeds and the maple syrup. Stir to combine, making sure there are no clumps of chia seeds. Place it the fridge for 2 hours or overnight to set.
- Top with fresh fruit, granola and/or nuts.
Notes
- Store pudding in airtight containers in the fridge for up to one week.
- Freeze individual portions in freezer-safe containers for up to three months; thaw overnight in the fridge before eating.
- Common substitutes include regular milk or coconut water, and sweeteners like honey can replace maple syrup.
- Chia seeds must be well mixed to prevent clumps before refrigeration.
