Method
 

  1. Whisk milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until completely smooth.
  2. Stir in chia seeds until evenly distributed with no dry pockets remaining.
  3. Rest for 10 minutes, stir again thoroughly, then divide into serving jars.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until thick, creamy, and fully set.
  5. Stir before serving. Add extra milk for a softer texture and top with pecans or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

For a softer pudding, stir in a splash of milk before serving. For a thicker consistency, add an extra tablespoon of chia seeds. Freeze individual portions for convenient meal prep and thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Add crunchy toppings just before serving for the best texture. Customize with cinnamon, nutmeg, or toasted coconut. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
