Oat Milk Chia Pudding
Description
This chia pudding combines oat milk and chia seeds, allowing the seeds to absorb the liquid and swell to produce a gel-like consistency. Flavorings of pure vanilla extract, optional honey or maple syrup, and cinnamon provide gentle sweetness and warmth. The mixture should be stirred after a few minutes to break up clumps, then refrigerated for at least two hours or overnight to set properly.
Fresh fruit toppings such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or sliced banana add freshness and contrast. Additional toppings like granola, chocolate chips, and nuts provide crunch and versatility, catering to personal preferences.
The recipe allows substitutions for other milk types like almond or cow's milk. Proper soaking time is essential; too little results in a runny pudding. It can also be frozen after initial soaking for longer storage, then thawed in the refrigerator before serving, though microwaving to defrost is not recommended.
