Ingredients

Scale

Liquid Base

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk

Main Ingredients

  • ½ cup pure pumpkin purée
  • ¼ cup chia seeds

Sweetener and Seasoning

  • 12 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ⅛ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. Mix Liquids and Pumpkin: In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk, pumpkin purée, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and sea salt until the mixture is completely smooth and uniform.
  2. Add Chia Seeds: Stir the chia seeds into the pumpkin mixture until they are evenly distributed throughout the liquid, ensuring no clumps form.
  3. Refrigerate and Thicken: Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and the pudding to thicken to the perfect creamy consistency.
  4. Serve Chilled: Once thickened, stir the pudding gently, serve it chilled, and enjoy as a healthy breakfast or snack.

Notes

  • You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup to taste.
  • For a richer flavor, try using coconut milk instead of almond milk.
  • Feel free to top the pudding with nuts, seeds, or fresh fruit before serving to add texture and extra nutrients.
  • Make sure to mix well before refrigerating to avoid clumps of chia seeds.
  • This pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
