Scale
Primary Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Chia Seeds
- 2 cups Milk of Choice (almond, coconut, dairy, etc.)
- 2-3 tablespoons Sweetener (maple syrup, agave, or honey)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- a pinch Salt
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the required ingredients and measure them accurately to ensure the pudding turns out perfectly.
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the chia seeds, milk, sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt thoroughly to avoid any clumps forming.
- Initial Soak: Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes so the chia seeds can start absorbing the liquid and swelling. After this time, stir again to break up any clumps and ensure even consistency.
- Refrigerate: Transfer the mixture into an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, which allows the pudding to fully thicken and develop a creamy texture.
- Check Consistency: Before serving, check the pudding’s thickness. If it is too thick, stir in a bit more milk until it reaches your preferred consistency.
- Serve and Enjoy: Spoon the pudding into bowls or jars and top with your favorite fruits, nuts, or other desired toppings to personalize your dish.
Notes
- This pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, making it great for meal prep.
- Use any type of milk you prefer, including plant-based options for a vegan version.
- Adjust sweetness to taste, or omit sweetener for a lower sugar option.
