Peanut Butter Chia Pudding
Description
This pudding combines almond milk with chia seeds and peanut butter, sweetened with maple syrup and flavored with vanilla. Whisking thoroughly disperses the peanut butter throughout the liquid, preventing clumps. After initial mixing and a brief rest, a second whisking ensures even pudding texture. The mixture then sets in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 12 hours, allowing chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency.
The completed pudding has a creamy texture balanced by the peanut butter’s richness and subtle sweetness from maple syrup. Toppings such as a peanut butter drizzle, cacao nibs, and berries add additional flavor and texture contrasts.
It is served cold and works as a nutritious snack or light breakfast option.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk unsweetened
- 3 Tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 Tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 2 Tablespoons peanut butter
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla
- peanut butter cacao nibs and berries, extra, for topping
Instructions
- Whisk together almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, peanut butter and vanilla. This takes a little effort because the peanut butter tends to stick together, but keep whisking until it's dispersed. Let mixture sit for five minutes and whisk again to remove any chia clumps. Place in fridge to set for at least 30 minutes, but up to 12 hours.
- When ready to enjoy, top with toppings of choice: I like a drizzle of peanut butter, cacao nibs and berries, but banana slices would be delicious as well.
