Ingredients

  • 1 cup non-dairy milk
  • 4-5 tablespoon chia seeds (5 tbsps for a thicker pudding)
  • 1 small pear sliced
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup + more to serve
  • grate ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon cardamom powder
  • 1 teaspoon desiccated coconut optional

Instructions

  • Combine the chia seeds, coconut (if using) and milk in a dish that can be sealed and place in the fridge, for at least two hours to thicken.
  • Once the pudding is ready, slice the pears. Melt the butter in a pan, and on a low heat add the pear slices. Drizzle with the maple syrup and the ginger. Fry for 7-8 minutes, carefully flipping halfway through until softened and slightly brown.
  • Spoon the chia pudding into your bowl and top with the pears. Drizzle on more maple syrup to taste, and a sprinkle of cardamom. Enjoy!

Notes

  • If possible, stir the chia pudding at least once halfway through its time in the fridge. This helps break up any clumps of chia seeds that may form.
  • Add more ginger and/or cardamom if you like extra spice.
  • The coconut is optional.
  • My low histamine readers may wish to stick to around two hours for setting time, rather than leaving the chia pudding in the fridge overnight.
