Ingredients
  

Apple Cinnamon Chia Pudding
  • 2 cups Milk dairy or plant-based
  • 1/2 cup Chia Seeds fresh
  • 1 Apple Apple finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup adjust sweetness
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 pinch Salt
Optional Toppings
  • 2 tablespoons Chopped Walnuts optional
  • 2 tablespoons Greek Yogurt for serving

  • Whisk
  • Measuring Cups

  • Scoop

  • Freezer
  • Refrigerator

Method
 

  1. Whisk milk, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
  2. Stir in chia seeds and diced apple evenly. Rest for 10 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumps and build a creamy texture.
  3. Divide the mixture into covered containers, leaving room for toppings.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until thick, creamy, and spoonable.
  5. Top with chopped walnuts and Greek yogurt before serving. Add a splash of milk if you prefer a softer consistency.

Notes

For a softer pudding, stir in extra milk before serving. For a thicker texture, increase chia seeds slightly. Freeze plain portions for up to 1 month and thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Add toppings after thawing for easier assembly and fresher texture. Customize with pears, raisins, pecans, nutmeg, or extra cinnamon. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
