Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or yogurt of choice)
¾ cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
½ cup pumpkin puree
2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
pinch sea salt
¼ cup chia seeds

Instructions

Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix the milk, yogurt, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of sea salt. Whisk them thoroughly or use a handheld milk frother until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and small bubbles form on the surface.
Add Chia Seeds: Stir in the chia seeds well using a whisk or fork. Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before stirring again to break up any clumps that may have formed.
Refrigerate: Place the bowl in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 4 hours to allow the pudding to thicken and the chia seeds to expand fully. If a thinner consistency is preferred, add a splash of milk after refrigeration and stir gently before serving.

Notes

Use any type of milk or yogurt you prefer for variations.
Stirring the pudding after 10-15 minutes prevents chia seed clumping and improves texture.
The pudding thickens considerably in the fridge; adjust thickness by adding more milk after chilling if desired.
For a vegan option, use plant-based yogurt and maple syrup.
Ideal as a make-ahead breakfast or healthy dessert.
