Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice blend (or 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ginger, 1/8 tsp nutmeg, pinch of cloves)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a medium bowl or jar, combine the chia seeds and almond milk. Stir well for about one minute to prevent clumping. Let it sit for five minutes, then stir again briefly.
- Add the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice blend, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture.
- Whisk all ingredients together thoroughly until the pumpkin is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least four hours, or preferably overnight, until the pudding thickens to your desired consistency.
- Stir the pudding before serving. If it is too thick, add a splash more milk until you reach your preferred texture.
- Serve cold with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- For a thicker pudding, slightly reduce the milk or increase the chia seeds to 1/3 cup.
- This recipe is naturally vegan and gluten free. Use a low-carb sweetener like monk fruit or stevia instead of maple syrup for a low sugar pumpkin recipe.
- Toppings ideas include chopped pecans, a dollop of coconut cream, or a sprinkle of extra cinnamon.
- This is a great meal prep breakfast idea; it keeps well in the refrigerator for up to four days.
