Chia Seed Pudding
Equipment
- 1 Medium-sized bowl
- 1 whisk or spoon
- 1 measuring cup
- 1 set of measuring spoons
- 4 Small jars or containers
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 2 cups milk of choice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Optional toppings: fresh fruit, nuts, or granola
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine chia seeds, milk, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and salt.
- Whisk the mixture thoroughly to ensure all chia seeds are evenly distributed and not clumped together.
- Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes, then whisk again to break up any clumps.
- Divide the mixture evenly into four small jars or containers.
- Cover the jars or containers and place them in the refrigerator.
- Allow the pudding to rest and thicken for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, stir the pudding to ensure even consistency.
- Top with your choice of fresh fruit, nuts, or granola if desired.
Notes
For the best results, use a creamy milk like coconut or almond for a richer texture. Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to your taste. Stirring the mixture a couple of times during the first 10 minutes helps prevent the chia seeds from settling at the bottom. This pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, making it a convenient make-ahead breakfast or snack option.
