Ingredients
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 2 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder or raw cacao powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2-3 Tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your favorite dairy-free milk)
Instructions
- Combine Everything BUT The Milk. In a medium bowl, combine chia seeds, cocoa powder, and salt. Add 2 Tbsp. syrup, the vanilla, and whisk to combine (don't add the milk yet!). The mixture will be quite thick.
- Whisk In The Milk. Pour in the milk and whisk to combine. Taste and add additional syrup, as desired.
- Rest & Stir. Let mixture rest for at least 5 minutes (10-15 minutes is better!) to partially thicken. After 5 minutes, stir again (this helps distribute the chia seeds evenly).
- Cover & Chill. Next, cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour (up to overnight) to allow the pudding to chill and gel. (For easiest serving, I like to put the chia pudding in the cups or jars I plan to serve it in before chilling, but you can just keep it in the mixing bowl, if you like.)
- Serve & Store. Top with your favorite goodies & serve! Leftover chia pudding will keep 4-5 days in the fridge.
Notes
- TOPPING IDEAS: Fresh berries, raspberry sauce, toasted coconut, peanut butter, vegan caramel sauce, chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, and more!
