I’m a little late to the chia seed pudding train, but I’m on board now and I freaking love it. I make it all the time and you really can’t screw it up. The chia seeds pretty much do all the work. Scroll down for the recipe and check out my YouTube video where I made this here!

Total 4 hours 30 minutes
A no-bake chocolate pudding made with chia seeds that sets in the refrigerator.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups Oat milk, or unsweetened Almond milk, or Coconut milk
  • 3-5 Tbsp maple syrup Use 3 Tbsp if using sweetened cocoa powder, 5 Tbsp if using unsweetened
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla paste
  • 1 pinch Kosher salt
  • 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder Sift before adding to reduce clumps
  • 0.5 cup chia seeds white or black

Method

  1. In a small bowl add your milk, maple syrup, and vanilla. Stir to combine.
  2. Using a sifter, add your unsweetened cocoa powder (make sure to sift first to reduce clumps), and salt. Stir until the powders dissolved.
  3. Add chia seeds and whisk once more to combine. Cover and refrigerate for 45 minutes then stir so the seeds disperse. Refrigerate again for 3-5 hours or until the pudding has set.
  4. Serve cold with raspberries and whipped cream or sliced almonds and granola.

Notes

If using sweetened cocoa powder, only add 3 Tbsp of maple syrup. If using unsweetened cocoa powder, add 5 Tbsp of maple syrup.
