Description
This creamy, plant-based pumpkin chia pudding is the perfect solution for busy mornings. Packed with fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, it offers a nourishing, autumn-inspired breakfast. The pudding-like consistency is achieved by soaking chia seeds in a flavorful blend of pumpkin purée, almond milk, and warming spices. It is a simple, no-cook recipe that can be prepared in advance, ensuring you have a healthy meal ready to grab when you are on the go.
Ingredients
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup pure pumpkin purée
1–2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 cup chia seeds
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk, pumpkin purée, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and sea salt until completely smooth.
Stir in the chia seeds until evenly distributed, mixing for an additional 30 seconds to prevent clumping.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until the pudding has thickened and the seeds have fully hydrated.
Serve chilled directly from the bowl or distribute into small jars for a convenient breakfast.
Notes
For the best texture, use 100% pumpkin purée without added seasonings. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add an extra tablespoon of almond milk. You can replace maple syrup with monk fruit sweetener for a lower-sugar option, or swap half the almond milk with coconut milk for additional creaminess.
