Pumpkin Pie Chia Pudding

Chia pudding is a staple snack and delicious dessert.


Ch-Ch-Chia! Chia pudding is not new, but it is still one of my favorite snacks. Chia seeds are a superfood and a staple in vegan (plant-based) diets, in part because they are a great source of protein. They are also high in fiber and a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids. Chia seeds are used in many vegan desserts because they are used as a binder and egg replacement, but they can also stand alone when they are made into a decadent, creamy chia pudding.

Flavor combinations, mix-ins and topping choices are abundant. Here’s my standard chia pudding recipe enhanced with canned pumpkin and spices that makes it taste like pumpkin pie. I usually make enough for several days. Chia pudding can be stored for up to 4 days in the fridge. Enjoy this healthy, decadent dessert!

Ingredients:

  • 3 Tbsp. chia seeds
  • 3/4 Cup plant milk – oat, soy, almond or coconut all work
  • 1 Tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 Tbsp. pure maple syrup (other sweeteners can be used)
  • 3 Tbsp. canned pumpkin
  • 1 Tsp. pumpkin pie spice

Preparation:

  1. Combine all ingredients together

  2. Stir again

    Stir again after 15 minutes to make sure all ingredients are incorporated.
