    Chia puddings are always popular here on the blog, and this oat milk chia pudding is a tasty one to add to your menu! Super creamy, it's a healthy breakfast that's perfect for meal prep - especially as we only use three main ingredients.

    As well as being delicious, chia puddings are brimming with goodness. Chia seeds are a good source of plant-based protein, fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, as Healthline's article on the health benefits of chia describes.

    ⭐ Why this recipe is so good

    Dairy free breakfast idea. This chia pudding with oat milk uses this creamy plant milk in place of dairy.

    Meal prep breakfast or snack. Prepare a couple of hours ahead of time (or the night before, if it works for you) for a quick and easy morning meal!

    Few ingredients recipe. We simply use chia seeds, oat milk and maple syrup to make this tasty pudding - but you can of course add some toppings!

    🥣 Ingredients

    labelled jug of oat milk and bowls of chia seeds and maple syrup.

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

    • Chia seeds - I suggest using the more common black chia seeds for this recipe, and definitely whole seeds not milled chia!
    • Oat milk - as well as Oatly there are other similar products available. If you are gluten free, check that the brand you use is certified as such.
    • Maple syrup - to add sweetness, adjust to the level of sweet tooth you have!

    🍒 Optional add-ins and toppings

    You can easily make this oat milk chia pudding with just the three ingredients mentioned above, but to add some extra flavor you may like to try:

    • Adding a touch of spice with cinnamon, cardamom or ground ginger.
    • Adding a dash of vanilla extract.
    • Topping with fresh berries, apple, pear or mango.
    • Topping with nuts or seeds such as pepitas or sliced almonds.
    • Spooning on some of my healthy mango coulis or apple pear compote.

    📖 Swaps and variations

    Swap oat milk for another plant milk. You can also use almond milk, coconut milk or rice milk to preference.

    Swap maple syrup for agave syrup. Both work well as vegan sweeteners.

    🔪 Step by step instructions

    Making this chia seed pudding with oat milk is very easy, with just a couple of steps:

    bowl of chia seeds and milk labelled number one.
    glass bowl of chia pudding with a whisk in it labelled number two.

    Step 1

    Combine the chia seeds, oat milk and maple syrup in a bowl or mason jar (image 1).

    Step 2

    Whisk well to distribute the chia seeds amongst the oat milk (image 2). Set aside in the fridge for 2 hours.

    If you can, give the chia pudding a whisk after an hour or so, as this helps break up any clumps of chia seeds that may form.

    Top with fruits, nuts or seeds to preference and enjoy!

    💭 Recipe tips and notes

    • Adjust the amount of maple syrup to taste preference.
    • I find that using a whisk rather than a spoon is better for breaking up the chia seeds - they do like to form clumps!
    • Giving the chia pudding a whisk after an hour or so helps to evenly distribute the chia seeds amongst the milk.
    • For a looser chia pudding, add a touch more oat milk.
    • I would suggest that my low histamine readers would want to leave the pudding to set for 1-2 hours rather than overnight. For some, this may be too long, so be mindful of personal sensitivities.

    📋 Frequently asked questions

    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.
