Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons chia seeds
- 6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Liquids & Sweeteners
- 1.5 cups non-dairy milk (such as almond, oat, or coconut milk)
- 6 tablespoons pure maple syrup
Nut Butter
- 1/4 cup unsalted raw almond butter (or any nut or seed butter)
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Add all the ingredients – chia seeds, cocoa powder, salt, vanilla extract, non-dairy milk, almond butter, and maple syrup – into a high-speed blender. Blend thoroughly until the mixture becomes creamy and well combined, ensuring the chia seeds are evenly dispersed.
- Refrigerate to Thicken: Pour the blended pudding into three small lidded glasses or containers. Place them in the refrigerator and allow the mixture to chill and thicken for at least 1 to 2 hours. For the best texture, chill overnight to let the chia seeds fully absorb the liquid and develop a smooth pudding consistency.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once thickened, enjoy the pudding plain or elevate it by topping with coconut whipped cream, fresh raspberries, or homemade granola for extra flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use a high-speed blender to ensure the pudding achieves a smooth and creamy texture.
- Substitute any nut or seed butter to suit dietary preferences or allergies.
- Maple syrup can be adjusted to taste if you prefer a sweeter or less sweet pudding.
- Non-dairy milk options such as almond, oat, or coconut milk work well; avoid watery milk for best results.
- Chilling overnight improves texture but the pudding is still good after 1-2 hours.
- Store leftover pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
