Ingredients

Scale

Pumpkin Chia Seed Pudding

  • 1 cup milk of choice (such as almond, oat, cow’s milk, or coconut milk)
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients: In a mixing bowl or jar, whisk together the milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until fully blended and smooth.
  2. Add chia seeds: Stir in the chia seeds thoroughly ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  3. Let it soak: Cover and refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding texture.
  4. Stir and serve: Before serving, give the pudding a good stir to break up any clumps. Enjoy it chilled as is or topped with nuts, fresh fruit, or a drizzle of extra maple syrup if desired.

Notes

  • Use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to avoid excess sugars and additives.
  • Adjust maple syrup quantity to your preferred level of sweetness.
  • The pudding will thicken more the longer it sits; if too thick, stir in a splash of milk to loosen it before eating.
  • This recipe can be made vegan by using plant-based milk.
  • For best texture, consume within 3 days of preparing.
