Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 cup pure pumpkin purée
- 1–2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
Instructions
- Whisk together 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 cup pure pumpkin purée, 1–2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, and 1/8 teaspoon sea salt until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in 1/4 cup chia seeds thoroughly, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the liquid.
- Let the mixture sit 5 minutes, then stir again to break up any clumps and ensure the chia hydrates fully.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, until the pudding is thickened.
- Stir the pudding before serving and, if it feels too thick, add a splash of almond milk and stir until it reaches the desired consistency.
Notes
If new to chia seeds or high-fiber foods, start with less chia and gradually increase to avoid digestive discomfort., For extra flair, add whipped cream, toasted nuts, pumpkin seeds, or nut butter as toppings or mix-ins., Store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days; freezing is not recommended due to texture changes.
