Equipment

Ingredients

For the chia pudding

  • ¼ cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup non-dairy milk
  • ½ teaspoon maple syrup more if you prefer it sweeter
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds optional

For the berry compote

  • 1 cup mixed berries*
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Combine chia seeds, plant milk and maple syrup in a mason jar or bowl and whisk together. Set aside in the fridge to set for at least an hour, whisking after 30 minutes if you can. Pour in a little more milk if it is too thick to your preference.
  • Heat the berries and maple syrup in a pot on the stovetop on a low to medium heat, stirring often so the berries break down into a mostly liquid texture. Take off the heat and stir in the chia seeds. Set aside to cool and thicken for about ten minutes.
  • Once both the pudding and the berry compote are ready, spoon the chia pudding into a jar or bowl and then top with the compote and any other toppings of choice.

Notes

*my low histamine readers will want to use low histamine berries such as blueberries, blackberries or cranberries. Strawberries are high histamine, so best avoided.
  • Whisking the chia seed mixture halfway (or so) during the 'setting' time helps the seeds combine evenly with the milk.
  • The quantities for the berry compote (and the pudding) are down to preference. I like a lot of compote, but if you prefer a little less than reduce the quantities.
  • Nutritional information is auto-generated and should be understood to be an estimate.
