Ingredients

Scale

Liquid Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 12 tablespoons pure maple syrup

Main Ingredients

  • ½ cup pure pumpkin purée
  • ¼ cup chia seeds

Spices and Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ⅛ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk, pumpkin purée, pure maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and sea salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Add Chia Seeds: Stir in the chia seeds thoroughly until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture, ensuring no clumps remain.
  3. Refrigerate to Set: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
  4. Serve Chilled: Once thickened, give the pudding a good stir and serve chilled as a healthy breakfast or dessert.

Notes

  • For a thicker pudding, increase chia seeds to ⅓ cup.
  • Adjust sweetness by using more or less maple syrup according to taste.
  • Use canned pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling, for best results.
  • The pudding can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Optional toppings: nuts, seeds, coconut flakes, or fresh fruit for added texture and flavor.
