Vegan Chia Seed Pudding
Learn how to make delicious vegan chia seed pudding with simple ingredients and healthy toppings. Perfect for breakfast or dessert.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup plant-based milk almond, coconut, oat, etc.
- 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup or sweetener of choice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- Pinch of salt optional
- Fresh fruit berries, banana, etc. for topping
- Granola chopped nuts, or seeds (optional for topping)
Instructions
- Combine Chia Seeds and Milk: In a bowl or mason jar, add 3 tablespoons of chia seeds. Pour in 1 cup of plant-based milk (almond, oat, coconut, etc.). Stir well to combine.
- Add Sweetener and Flavor: Add 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup for sweetness, and if you want, a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir again until everything is mixed evenly.
- Refrigerate: Cover the mixture and place it in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
- Serve: After the pudding has thickened, give it a good stir. Top with your favorite fresh fruits, nuts, or seeds.
Notes
- Adjust the liquid-to-chia ratio if you prefer a thinner or thicker pudding. For a thicker consistency, use more chia seeds or less liquid.
- If you prefer a sweeter pudding, add more maple syrup or sweetener of your choice.
- This pudding can be made in advance and stored in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
