Description
A creamy, dairy-free chia seed pudding made with water, naturally rich in fiber and perfect for an easy breakfast or snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- 1 cup cold water
- 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
- Combine chia seeds, water, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt in a jar or bowl.
- Whisk for 30 seconds until evenly mixed.
- Let sit for 10 minutes.
- Whisk again thoroughly to break up any clumps.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Stir before serving.
- For an extra creamy texture, blend one-third of the pudding and stir it back in.
- Top with berries, banana, nut butter, coconut, or granola as desired.
Notes
Use a 1:4 chia-to-water ratio for the best texture. A second whisk after 10 minutes helps prevent clumping and creates a smoother pudding.
