Ingredients
Chia Pudding Base
- 1½ cups oat milk
- 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup
- ¼-⅓ cup chia seeds (use ⅓ cup for a thicker pudding)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, add the chia seeds, oat milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well until all ingredients are fully combined and the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
- Initial Set: Place the mixture in the fridge and let it set for 5-10 minutes. After this resting period, stir the pudding again to break up any clumps and evenly distribute the chia seeds.
- Final Set: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the pudding for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight to allow the chia seeds to fully absorb the liquid and form a thick, creamy texture.
- Serve: Before serving, give the pudding a good stir. Top with your favorite toppings such as yogurt, fresh fruit, nuts, or additional seeds to add flavor and texture.
Notes
- For a thicker pudding, use ⅓ cup chia seeds instead of ¼ cup.
- Maple syrup can be adjusted based on desired sweetness or substituted with honey or agave syrup.
- Letting the pudding sit overnight produces the best texture and flavor.
- Experiment with toppings such as berries, sliced bananas, almonds, or pumpkin seeds for variety.
- This pudding can be stored covered in the fridge for up to 4 days.
