Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ cup chia seeds
  • 2 cups non-dairy milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract *optional
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon *optional, or cardamom

Instructions

  • Tip the chia seeds into a pot and pour in the non-dairy milk. Bring to a low boil, then adjust so you have a low to medium heat. Whisk frequently for 4-5 minutes, or for longer if you like a thicker warm chia pudding.
  • Take off the heat, and whisk in the vanilla extract, if using, and the cinnamon (or cardamom).
  • Spoon into your bowls and drizzle over the maple syrup. Add any toppings you would like and serve immediately.

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.
  • 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.
  • Please note that nutritional information is offered as a courtesy. It is auto-generated and should be understood to be an estimate.
