Ingredients
  

Chia Pudding
  • cups milk dairy or plant-based
  • cup chia seeds
  • tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • teaspoon vanilla extract
  • cup apple finely diced
  • pinch salt
Toppings
  • tablespoons chopped walnuts optional
  • tablespoon extra diced apple optional

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring Cups
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Jar with Lid
  • Refrigerator
  • Serving Spoon

Method
 

  1. Whisk milk, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
  2. Stir in chia seeds and diced apple. Mix thoroughly so the seeds distribute evenly.
  3. Rest for 10 minutes, stir again to prevent clumps, then cover.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until thick, creamy, and spoonable.
  5. Stir before serving. Add a splash of milk for a softer texture or enjoy thick as prepared. Top with walnuts and extra apple.

Notes

For a softer pudding, add extra milk before serving. For a thicker texture, increase chia seeds slightly. Freeze individual portions for quick breakfasts and thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Keep ingredients chilled during assembly for the best consistency. Customize with pecans, raisins, nut butter, or extra spices. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
