Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup oat milk certified gluten free, if required
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or agave nectar

Optional add-ins

  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon or cardamom
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch brown sugar
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Combine the chia seeds, oat milk and maple syrup (or agave nectar) in a mason jar or bowl.
  • Whisk well to distribute the chia seeds through the milk and set aside in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
  • If you can, give the chia pudding a whisk after about an hour to help break up any clumps of chia seeds that form.
  • Add any toppings you like and enjoy!

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