Ingredients
½cup(120ml)milk, or dairy-free milk
2tablespoons(21g)chia seeds
1teaspoon(5ml)maple syrup, honey, or agave nectar (optional)
¼teaspoonvanilla extract, (optional)
Instructions
Make the Pudding - In 8-ounce mason jars, cups, or a large bowl, add the milk, chia seeds, maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract (if using). Stir and let sit for 5 minutes. Alternatively, if making a larger batch, combine ingredients in a bowl or container.
Refrigerate - Stir to break up any remaining clumps. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. The pudding thickens more the longer it sits.
To Serve - Remove from the refrigerator. Add desired toppings like fruit, nuts, jam, nutter butter, or granola.
Notes
Dairy-Free Milk Options: Almond milk, soy milk, rice milk, cashew milk, oat milk, or coconut milk. These will give a slightly thinner consistency.
Storage Containers: Use 8-ounce wide-mouth glass jars or plastic containers for individual servings. To make a large batch, store it in an airtight container.
Storing: Refrigerate in an airtight container or glass jar for up to 1 week.
Chia Not Thickening: Old chia seeds lose their gelling thickening power. If they don't thicken after 15 minutes, it's time for a new bag. Fresh seeds will thicken the most if left overnight.
