    ⭐ Why this recipe is so good

    A fun change for the colder months. I'm all about my (cold) peach chia pudding and others in the summer months, but a hot chia pudding is so good for fall and winter!

    Super healthy. Chia seeds are packed with nutrients such as omega 3 fatty acids and fiber, and are a complete protein (Healthline).

    Quick and easy to make. It takes less than 15 minutes to put this hearty breakfast together!

    🥭 Ingredients

    individually labelled ingredients to make warm chia pudding including maple syrup, cinnamon and vanilla extract.

    All the ingredients and their quantities are set out in the recipe card below.

    Some notes on a few of them:

    • Chia seeds - you want to use whole chia seeds rather than milled chia.
    • Non-dairy milk - use the type that suits you best, whether it is almond milk, oat milk or other types.

    📖 Swaps and variations

    Swap maple syrup for another sweetener. Agave syrup and honey will also work well!

    Leave out the vanilla extract. This is optional, so only use if it works for you.

    🔪 Step by step instructions

    Making this warm chia pudding is very quick and easy, with just a few steps:

    chia seeds in milk in a pot labelled number one.
    chia pudding in a pot being whisked labelled number two.

    Step 1

    Tip the chia seeds into a pot and pour in the non-dairy milk (image 1).

    Step 2

    Bring to a boil (a low boil rather than a hard boil), whisking the mixture (image 2).

    chia pudding being whisked in a pot labelled number three.
    chia pudding in a pot with vanilla extract and cinnamon being whisked labelled number four.

    Step 3

    Reduce the heat to low-medium and whisk frequently for 4-5 minutes until you have a thick and creamy consistency (image 3). If needed, add a splash of extra milk or water.

    Step 4

    Take the pot off the heat and add the vanilla extract and cinnamon (or cardamom) (image 4). Whisk again to combine.

    Spoon into your bowls and drizzle on the maple syrup. Add toppings of your choice and serve immediately.

    💭 Recipe tips and notes

    • The texture of chia pudding is slightly to preference. Add a little more plant milk if you prefer a looser consistency.
    • Be sure to whisk well so the chia seeds don't clump up, and they absorb the milk and swell up.
    • Don't let the chia pudding come to a hard boil as it could burn on the bottom of the pot. Keep to a 'light' boil or simmer.

    📋 Frequently asked questions

    What is the texture of warm chia pudding?

    It's thick and creamy, and has the best comforting texture!

    Is this warm chia pudding vegan and gluten free?

    Yes, it is both vegan and gluten free. Be sure to use maple syrup rather than honey to ensure it is vegan.

    🍯 Suggestions for chia pudding toppings

    There are so many ideas for toppings, including:

    • Fruit, such as mango chunks as I used in these photos, as well as berries, apple or pear.
    • Fruit coulis such as my mango coulis, or you can heat blueberries or blackberries so they breakdown into a 'jam' consistency.
    • Nuts and seeds, including pumpkin seeds or Brazil nuts.
    • Desiccated coconut or coconut flakes.
    • Goji berries.

    Hi, I’m Claire. After a diagnosis of MCAS I began to follow a low histamine diet, which has helped me manage my symptoms. Here I hope to show that a restrictive diet can still be full of flavourful meals, and help you enjoy being creative in the kitchen.
