Equipment

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup non-dairy milk
  • ¼ cup coffee brewed espresso, instant or cafetiere coffee*
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon or cardamom optional

Instructions

  • Combine the chia seeds, coffee, cinnamon (if using), milk and maple syrup in a bowl or tupperware and whisk well so the chia seeds are dispersed evenly amongst the milk and coffee. Place in the fridge for at least two hours.
  • Stir or whisk the chia pudding after an hour to help break up any clumps of chia seeds that have formed. If you like a more loose chia pudding, add a touch of milk to thin.
  • Spoon into your serving jar or bowl and sprinkle on a little spice if you like. Then enjoy!

Notes

*If using espresso, use a half or single shot.
  • Adjust the strength of the coffee to personal preference, making a stronger coffee for more flavour or weaker for just a hint of the coffee taste.
  • Either regular or decaf coffee can be used.
  • Whisk the chia pudding after it has been in the fridge for about an hour to break up any clumps of chia seeds that have formed.
  • If you prefer a looser chia pudding, you can add a touch more milk.
