Chia seeds have so many great benefits, from fiber to being a wonderful source of omega 3s.
To make pumpkin spice chia seed pudding, you’ll need just a few ingredients and a few hours for it to set in the fridge.
This delicious pudding is perfect for fall, with the warm flavors of pumpkin spice and the nutritional benefits of chia seeds.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons of chia seeds
- 1 cup of milk (regular milk, almond, coconut, soy, etc)
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) of sweetener (honey, maple syrup, agave nectar, or stevia), optional
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice (or mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger)
- – ¼ cup pumpkin purée (unsweetened)
- Fresh fruits, nuts, or other toppings of your choice
Directions
In a bowl or mason jar, mix the almond milk, pumpkin purée, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract until well-combined.
Add the chia seeds and stir to evenly distribute them in the mixture. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or overnight, until the pudding thickens to your desired consistency.
Before serving, give it a stir and add your favorite toppings for extra flavor and texture.
