Description

A simple, delicious Vanilla Almond Chia Pudding recipe that’s not only nutritious but also incredibly easy to make.


Ingredients

  • Chia Seeds: The base of the pudding, these tiny seeds expand and create a gel-like texture when soaked in liquid.
  • Almond Milk: Provides a creamy flavor and consistency. Feel free to use unsweetened or flavored almond milk.
  • Maple Syrup: A natural sweetener that pairs perfectly with the almond flavor; you can substitute it with honey or agave if preferred.
  • Vanilla Extract: Adds a lovely aroma and enhances the flavor of the pudding; ensure you use pure vanilla extract for the best results.
  • Almonds: Sliced or chopped for topping to add crunch and enhance the almond flavor.

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine.
  2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for a thicker pudding.
  3. Before serving, give the pudding a good stir. Portion into bowls and top with sliced almonds and additional maple syrup if desired.

Notes

  • For a thicker pudding, increase the amount of chia seeds slightly or let it sit longer in the fridge.
  • Experiment with different flavored extracts like almond or coconut for varying tastes.
