Cinnamon Chia Pudding Recipe

Ingredients for Cinnamon Chia Pudding

• 1 ½ cups (375 ml) almond milk (unsweetened)
• 4 tablespoons chia seeds
• 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup (or other liquid sweeteners)
• 1-2 teaspoons cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
• Vanilla yogurt (for topping)
• Cinnamon (for dusting)

Suggested Substitutions

• Almond milk can be replaced with soy milk, oat milk, coconut milk, or regular milk for non-vegans.
• Sweeteners can be substituted with agave syrup, coconut sugar, or brown sugar.
• Vanilla bean paste can be replaced with vanilla extract.
• Yogurt can be substituted with unflavored yogurt or another favorite type.

Instructions for Preparation

Step-by-Step Mixing Process

In a bowl, combine almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla. Stir well until everything is blended together, and don’t worry if it’s a bit lumpy at first; it will come together beautifully!

Chilling the Mixture

Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again and cover. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid, creating that signature pudding-like consistency. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until thickened.

Serving Suggestions

Once your pudding has set, serve it in containers topped with a dollop of vanilla yogurt and a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra flavor boost. This makes for an inviting breakfast or snack that’s both nutritious and satisfying!

Tips for Best Results

Avoiding Lumps in the Pudding

For best results, stir the chia seeds thoroughly into the milk to avoid lumps. An even mixture will yield a creamier pudding, making each spoonful a delight.

Adjusting Sweetness to Taste

When you taste the mixture, feel free to adjust the sweetness with more maple syrup if desired. Sometimes, the almond milk provides sufficient sweetness, but a little extra sweetness can make a world of difference!
