Ingredients
2 Tbsp chia seeds
½ cup milk
2 tsp maple syrup or honey
1 Tbsp natural peanut butter
½ tsp vanilla extract
1–2 Tbsp strawberry jam (add after chilling)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the chia seeds, milk, maple syrup (or honey), peanut butter, and vanilla extract.
- Whisk well until the peanut butter is fully incorporated into the mixture and there are no lumps.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
- Once the pudding has set, stir it well. If needed, add more milk to adjust the consistency to your liking.
- After stirring, top with 1–2 tablespoons of strawberry jam. Gently swirl it into the pudding for a “jelly” effect.
- Serve immediately or chill for an extra hour for a firmer texture.
Notes
This pudding is best served cold. If it thickens too much, simply stir in extra milk to reach your desired consistency.
You can use almond, coconut, or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
Feel free to add extra peanut butter, fruit preserves, or crunchy toppings like nuts or granola for added texture.
If you prefer a thicker pudding, add more chia seeds or reduce the milk slightly.
