Description
A simple, healthy, and delicious Vanilla Chia Pudding with a warm hint of cinnamon, perfect for breakfast, snacks, or a light dessert.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups milk of choice (almond, coconut, dairy, etc.)
1/2 cup chia seeds
1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1–2 tbsp maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
A pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
- Whisk together the milk, vanilla extract, maple syrup (or honey), cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a bowl or jar.
- Stir in the chia seeds thoroughly to prevent any clumps.
- Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to break up any chia clumps.
- Cover the bowl or jar and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to thicken.
- Serve cold, topped with fresh fruit, extra cinnamon, or yogurt if desired.
Notes
For extra creaminess, stir in a tablespoon of Greek yogurt before chilling.
Add diced apples or bananas for a cinnamon-roll flavor.
Boost protein with nut butter or protein powder.
Try different milks to change flavor and texture (coconut milk for richness, almond for lightness).
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4–5 days.
Best served cold; no reheating recommended.
