Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of your choice)
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries (plus more for garnish)
- Sliced almonds or chopped nuts
- Shredded coconut
- Additional raspberries or mixed berries
- Extra drizzle of maple syrup
Instructions
- Start by preparing your ingredients: measure 1/4 cup chia seeds and 1 cup almond milk. Make sure the almond milk is unsweetened. (Duration: 2 minutes)
- Add the chia seeds and almond milk to a medium-sized bowl or a mason jar. Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed in the liquid. (Duration: 1 minute)
- Add 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir again until everything is well combined. You should have a uniform mixture. (Duration: 1 minute)
- Cover the bowl or jar with plastic wrap or a lid and let the mixture rest in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight, so the chia seeds can swell properly. (Duration: 2 hours to overnight)
- After the resting time, the pudding should have a thick, gel-like consistency. Stir the pudding well before serving to loosen the texture. (Duration: 2 minutes)
- Serve the pudding in bowls and garnish as desired with fresh raspberries, sliced almonds, or shredded coconut. An extra drizzle of maple syrup makes it even sweeter! (Duration: 3 minutes)

Keywords: Avoid adding chia seeds directly into the liquid without stirring first, as this can cause clumping. Use a mason jar for preparation so you can store the pudding in it and have an ideal portion size.
