Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 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)
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 After 5 Minutes: Stir the mixture again after 5 minutes to prevent clumping and ensure even texture.
- Mash the Raspberries: Gently mash the raspberries with a fork to release their juices, then stir them into the chia mixture for a naturally infused berry flavor. For a smoother texture, blend the raspberries before mixing.
- Let It Set: Cover the bowl or transfer the pudding to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight until the pudding thickens.
- Adjust Consistency: If the pudding is too thick after chilling, add a splash of milk to loosen the texture to your desired consistency.
- Serve and Enjoy: Stir the pudding well, divide it into serving cups, and garnish with your favorite toppings such as sliced almonds, shredded coconut, additional berries, and an extra drizzle of maple syrup. For added texture, layer with granola or yogurt if desired.
Notes
- Using almond milk keeps this recipe dairy-free and vegan friendly.
- Maple syrup adds natural sweetness without refined sugars.
- Soaking chia seeds allows them to absorb liquid and form a pudding-like texture.
- Refrigerating overnight intensifies the flavors and improves the pudding’s consistency.
- Adjust the sweetness or toppings as per your preference to make it your own.
