Equipment

Small bowl or jar
Whisk

Ingredients

4 tablespoon milled flaxseed (ground flaxseed)
½ cup non-dairy milk
1 teaspoon maple syrup
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract optional

Instructions

Add all the ingredients for the pudding (except the optional jam or toppings) to a bowl or jar. Whisk to combine and set aside in the fridge for an hour (two hours is better).
If making the blueberry jam, see the recipe linked below. Alternatively top with fruit, nuts, seeds or coconut flakes to preference.

Notes

I like to alternate the flaxseed pudding layers with sweet jam, and usually use my blueberry chia jam recipe.
If you don't have milled flaxseed (also known as ground flaxseed) then simply grind your own seeds in a coffee grinder or blender.
Giving the pudding a whisk after about 30 minutes in the fridge will help the ingredients combine and thicken.
Adjust the amount of maple syrup to taste preference.
