Ingredients
2 Tbsp chia seeds
½ cup milk
2 tsp maple syrup or honey
1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the chia seeds, milk, maple syrup (or honey), cocoa powder, and vanilla extract.
- Stir well to ensure the cocoa powder is fully incorporated into the liquid and the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
- Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and thicken, creating a pudding-like consistency.
- Once the pudding has set, give it a good stir. You can add extra sweetener or a splash of milk if you’d like a smoother texture.
- Serve cold, and if desired, top with fresh berries, nuts, or a dollop of whipped cream for added flavor and texture.
Notes
Store leftover pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
If the pudding thickens too much, stir in a little extra milk to reach your desired consistency.
This pudding is naturally vegan if you use maple syrup as your sweetener and plant-based milk.
For a richer flavor, add peanut butter or a pinch of cinnamon to the mixture.
