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.
