Ingredients
Chia and Flaxseed Pudding
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1.5 tbsp ground flaxseed (also known as milled flaxseed)
- 2 tsp maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp cardamom (or cinnamon, optional)
- 1/2 cup plant milk (such as almond, soy, oat, or coconut milk)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the chia seeds, ground flaxseed, maple syrup, cardamom or cinnamon (if using) into a mason jar or any sealable container. Pour in the plant milk of your choice to create the pudding base.
- Mix Thoroughly: Use a spoon or whisk to stir the mixture well, ensuring the chia seeds and flaxseed are evenly distributed throughout the milk to prevent clumping.
- Refrigerate to Set: Place the container in the refrigerator for 2 hours. If possible, stir the pudding after 30 minutes to break up any seed clumps and encourage even thickening.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Once set, top your pudding with fresh fruits, jam, or nut/seed butters to your liking, then enjoy as a nutritious breakfast or snack.
Notes
- Stirring after 30 minutes helps avoid clumps and creates a creamier texture.
- Use your preferred plant-based milk; each will give a slightly different flavor and creaminess.
- You can prepare this pudding ahead and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- For added protein, consider mixing in a scoop of plant-based protein powder or topping with nuts and seeds.
- Optional spices like cinnamon or nutmeg can be used instead of cardamom for different flavor variations.
