Ingredients
For the Pudding:
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries plus more for topping
Optional Toppings:
- Sliced almonds or chopped nuts
- Shredded coconut
- Additional raspberries or mixed berries
- Extra drizzle of maple syrup
Instructions
- Mix the Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined. Stir again after 5 minutes to prevent clumping and ensure even texture.
- Mash the Raspberries: Gently mash the raspberries with a fork to release their natural juices, then stir them into the chia mixture to infuse a fresh berry flavor. For a smoother pudding, you can blend the raspberries before mixing.
- Let It Set: Cover the bowl or transfer the mixture into an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight, allowing the mixture to thicken to a pudding-like consistency. If the pudding is too thick after chilling, add a splash of milk to loosen the texture and stir well.
- Serve and Enjoy: Stir the pudding well before serving. Divide into serving cups and add your favorite toppings such as sliced almonds, shredded coconut, additional berries, or an extra drizzle of maple syrup. For added texture and flavor, consider layering with granola or yogurt.
Notes
- Chia seeds absorb liquid and thicken over time; stirring after initial mixing helps prevent clumps.
- Fresh or frozen raspberries work equally well; thaw frozen before use.
- You can substitute almond milk with any plant-based or dairy milk according to preference.
- Adjust sweetness by modifying maple syrup quantity to taste.
- Use airtight containers for storing leftover pudding to maintain freshness up to 3 days.
- For a smoother texture, blend raspberries before mixing with chia seeds.
- Pudding can be enjoyed as a breakfast, snack, or healthy dessert option.
