Ingredients
Scale
Chia Pudding Base
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds (white chia seeds preferred)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 4 tablespoons pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon pure maple syrup
- 1/8 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: Add all ingredients – chia seeds, almond milk, pumpkin purée, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice – into a bowl and whisk thoroughly until combined.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or transfer the mixture into sealed containers such as mason jars. Refrigerate for at least 3 to 4 hours to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a pudding texture. For best results, refrigerate overnight.
- Serve: Before eating, give the pudding a quick stir to ensure an even consistency. Serve chilled and enjoy.
Notes
- You can use either white or black chia seeds; adjust based on preference.
- If you prefer a sweeter pudding, increase the maple syrup to taste.
- Make sure to use pure pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling, to avoid added sugars and spices.
- This pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Feel free to top with nuts, seeds, or fresh fruit before serving for extra texture and flavor.
