Ingredients
  

Pumpkin Chia Pudding
  • cups milk dairy or plant-based
  • cup chia seeds
  • cup pumpkin puree not pie filling
  • tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch salt
Toppings
  • tablespoons chopped pecans optional
  • tablespoons granola optional

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring Cups
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Rubber Spatula
  • Meal Prep Jars
  • Scoop
  • Tray
  • Freezer
  • Refrigerator

Method
 

  1. Whisk milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until smooth.
  2. Stir in chia seeds until evenly combined. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumps.
  3. Divide the mixture evenly into meal prep jars using a scoop for clean assembly.
  4. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight until thick, creamy, and spoonable.
  5. Stir before serving. Add a splash of milk for a softer texture and finish with pecans or granola.

Notes

For a softer pudding, add extra milk before serving; for a thicker consistency, increase chia seeds slightly. Freeze sealed jars for convenient meal prep and thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Assemble crunchy toppings just before serving for the best texture. Customize with cinnamon, nutmeg, maple syrup, or toasted coconut. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
