Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk of choice
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or to taste
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, add the milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, kosher salt, and chia seeds. Whisk everything together thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined and the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to a sealed container. Place it in the refrigerator and let it rest for at least 4 hours, or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
- Serve: Before serving, give the pudding a good stir to break up any clumps. Garnish with your favorite toppings such as nuts, seeds, fresh fruit, or a drizzle of additional maple syrup for extra flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to control the sweetness and flavor.
- Choose any milk you prefer: dairy, almond, coconut, oat, or soy milk work great.
- Adjust the maple syrup to taste for sweetness.
- For a thicker pudding, increase chia seeds slightly or reduce milk.
- Can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and stored in the fridge.
- Perfect for a healthy breakfast, snack, or dessert.
