Description
Pumpkin Chia Seed Pudding is a creamy no-cook recipe with warm pumpkin spice flavor. It takes only 5 minutes to prepare and works well as breakfast, a snack, or dessert.
Ingredients
1 cup milk of choice
1/2 cup pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling
1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup, adjusted to taste
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup chia seeds
Optional toppings: whipped cream, fresh fruit, cinnamon, or chopped nuts
Instructions
1. Add the milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and salt to a medium bowl.
2. Whisk the ingredients until the pumpkin mixture looks smooth and creamy.
3. Stir in the chia seeds until they spread evenly throughout the mixture.
4. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes, then stir again to break up any chia seed clumps.
5. Cover the bowl or divide the mixture between airtight jars.
6. Refrigerate for about 4 hours, or until the chia seeds absorb the liquid and form a thick pudding.
7. Stir the pudding before serving.
8. Serve chilled with whipped cream, fresh fruit, cinnamon, chopped nuts, or other toppings you enjoy.
Notes
Use plain pumpkin puree rather than pumpkin pie filling, which contains added sugar and spices.
For a thinner pudding, stir in a small splash of milk before serving.
For a thicker pudding, add 1 teaspoon of chia seeds and chill for another 30 to 60 minutes.
Adjust the maple syrup and pumpkin pie spice to suit your taste.
Store the pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
