  • teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Refrigerator

Method
 

  1. Whisk milk, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
  2. Stir in chia seeds and diced apples until evenly combined with no dry pockets remaining.
  3. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes, stir again, then scoop evenly into breakfast jars.
  4. Seal the jars and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until thick and creamy.
  5. Before serving, stir gently. Add extra milk for a softer texture, then top with walnuts or granola.

Notes

Adjust the texture by adding milk for softer pudding or extra chia seeds for a thicker consistency. Freeze sealed jars for future breakfasts and thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Handle jars gently during assembly to keep toppings fresh. Customize flavors with pears, raisins, nutmeg, or pecans. Store refrigerated for up to 5 days.
