Description

This Coconut Milk Chia Pudding is a creamy, dairy-free, and vegan-friendly dessert or breakfast option that’s packed with nutrients. Made with just a few simple ingredients—coconut milk, chia seeds, and a touch of sweetness—this pudding is not only delicious but also easy to prepare. It’s the perfect make-ahead snack or treat that can be customized with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, or granola!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • :
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk (canned)
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey, if not vegan)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Fresh fruit, granola, or nuts for topping (optional)

Instructions

  • :
  • Combine the ingredients: In a medium bowl or jar, whisk together the coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract (if using), and a pinch of salt. Ensure the chia seeds are fully mixed in and not clumped together.
  • Let it sit: Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the coconut milk and thicken into a pudding-like texture.
  • Stir the pudding: After the pudding has set, give it a good stir to break up any clumps of chia seeds. If the pudding is too thick, you can add a little more coconut milk to reach your desired consistency.
  • Serve: Divide the pudding into serving bowls or jars. Top with your favorite toppings like fresh berries, sliced bananas, nuts, or granola.
  • Enjoy: Serve chilled and enjoy as a healthy breakfast, dessert, or snack!

Notes

  • :
  • You can adjust the sweetness of the pudding by adding more or less maple syrup or honey, depending on your taste preferences.
  • For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or cocoa powder to the pudding mixture before refrigerating.
  • The pudding will thicken more as it sits, so if it’s too runny at first, just let it chill for a longer time.
  • If you prefer a sweeter version, you can blend the pudding with some extra fruit like mango or berries before serving.
