Pumpkin Pie Chia Pudding is a healthy and delicious way to enjoy the flavors of fall in a light, creamy dessert or breakfast. This pudding combines the warm spices of pumpkin pie with the wholesome goodness of chia seeds, which thicken into a luscious, custard-like texture when soaked. The pumpkin purée adds a rich, earthy sweetness, while the chia seeds provide fiber and protein, making this a nutrient-packed treat. It’s an easy, no-cook recipe that’s perfect for meal prep, offering the comforting taste of pumpkin pie in every bite.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/2 cup pumpkin purée
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves)
- A pinch of salt
- Whipped cream and cinnamon for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Mix the Ingredients: In a medium bowl or mason jar, whisk together the almond milk, pumpkin purée, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Let It Set: Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
- Stir and Serve: Once the pudding has set, give it a good stir to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed. If it’s too thick, you can add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Garnish: Serve the pumpkin pie chia pudding in individual bowls or glasses, topped with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon for a festive touch, if desired.
Enjoy your Pumpkin Pie Chia Pudding, a delicious and nutritious treat that satisfies your pumpkin cravings while being light and wholesome!
