Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup almond milk
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions
- Create a creamy base by vigorously whisking almond milk, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and almond butter in a mixing bowl until the mixture becomes silky and uniform.
- Gradually introduce chia seeds into the liquid blend, stirring thoroughly to prevent clumping and ensure even distribution throughout the mixture.
- Transfer the liquid mixture into a sealed container, gently rotating to guarantee all chia seeds are incorporated and not settled at the bottom.
- Refrigerate the pudding for a minimum of 4-6 hours, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and transform the mixture into a luxurious, pudding-like consistency.
- Before serving, give the pudding a gentle stir to restore its smooth texture and break up any potential seed clusters.
- Elevate the pudding’s visual appeal and nutritional profile by garnishing with a vibrant medley of fresh berries, a drizzle of additional almond butter, or a sprinkle of crunchy granola.
- Serve chilled and savor the delightful balance of creamy, nutty, and sweet flavors in this nutrient-packed dessert or breakfast treat.
Notes
- Customize sweetness by adjusting maple syrup to suit personal taste preferences or dietary needs.
- Whisk thoroughly to prevent chia seeds from clumping and ensure a smooth, creamy texture throughout the pudding.
- For a protein boost, blend in a scoop of plant-based protein powder or Greek yogurt before chilling for added nutrition.
- Experiment with alternative milk options like coconut, oat, or cashew milk to create unique flavor profiles and cater to different dietary restrictions.
