Description
This Vanilla Chia Pudding with Cinnamon is a creamy, naturally sweetened treat that’s perfect for breakfast, a light dessert, or a healthy snack. Made with just a few wholesome ingredients, it’s rich in fiber, omega-3s, and flavor. The warm hint of cinnamon pairs beautifully with the vanilla and maple undertones, creating a comforting and nourishing dish.
Ingredients
½ cup chia seeds
2 cups almond milk (or any milk of choice)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and cinnamon until the mixture is fully combined.
Let it sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again to prevent the chia seeds from clumping.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to fully absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency.
Once thickened, give the pudding another good stir and spoon it into individual serving bowls. Top with fresh fruit, nuts, or a sprinkle of extra cinnamon if desired. Serve chilled.
Notes
For a smoother texture, you can blend the mixture before refrigerating. Adjust the sweetness to taste, and experiment with toppings like sliced banana, berries, granola, or shredded coconut. This recipe is easily doubled or tripled for meal prep.
