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
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.
*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.
