Ingredients

Scale

Chia Pudding Base

  • 1½ cups milk (or non-dairy milk like almond or oat)
  • 6 to 7 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons molasses

Spices

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground clove
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, molasses, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and ground ginger. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  2. Initial Setting: Cover the bowl with a lid and place it in the refrigerator. Let the mixture set for 5 to 10 minutes.
  3. Stir to Prevent Clumping: After the initial setting time, return to the pudding and give it a good stir to break up any clumps of chia seeds.
  4. Final Chill: Cover again and refrigerate for at least 3 to 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the chia seeds to fully absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding consistency.
  5. Serve: Before serving, stir the pudding well and add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, or coconut flakes for added texture and flavor.

Notes

  • You can use any milk of choice, including dairy or plant-based (almond, soy, oat) for a vegan option.
  • Adjust the sweetness by increasing or decreasing the maple syrup and molasses to taste.
  • If you prefer a smoother texture, you can blend the pudding after soaking.
  • For best results, soak overnight to let the chia seeds fully expand.
  • Store leftover pudding covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
