Scale
Chia Pudding Base
- 6 tablespoons chia seeds
- 6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups non-dairy milk (such as almond, oat, or coconut milk)
- ¼ cup unsalted raw almond butter (or any nut or seed butter)
- 6 tablespoons pure maple syrup
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add all the ingredients—chia seeds, cocoa powder, salt, vanilla extract, non-dairy milk, almond butter, and maple syrup—into a high-speed blender.
- Blend Until Creamy: Blend the mixture until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency, ensuring the chia seeds and almond butter are well incorporated into the liquid base.
- Refrigerate: Pour the blended pudding into three small lidded glasses or containers. Refrigerate for at least 1 to 2 hours to allow it to cool and thicken properly. For the best texture and flavor, chill it overnight.
- Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy the pudding plain or top with your favorite additions such as coconut whipped cream, fresh raspberries, or homemade granola for extra flavor and texture.
Notes
- For a sweeter pudding, adjust the maple syrup quantity to taste.
- You can substitute almond butter with any other nut or seed butter like peanut or sunflower seed butter.
- Use any variety of non-dairy milk to suit your dietary preference or availability.
- Refrigeration time is important to allow the chia seeds to absorb liquid and create the pudding texture.
- This pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
