Cook Time: -
Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Breakfast
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 cup grain-free granola
- Fresh fruit for topping
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds and almond milk, stirring thoroughly to prevent clumping. Ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed throughout the liquid.
- Add maple syrup to the chia seed mixture and whisk until well incorporated, creating a smooth and consistent texture.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to a sealed container and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight. During this time, the chia seeds will absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency.
- Once the chia pudding has set, remove from the refrigerator and give it a gentle stir to break up any potential clumps.
- Divide the chia pudding evenly between two serving bowls.
- Top each serving with grain-free granola, distributing it evenly across the surface of the pudding.
- Garnish with fresh seasonal fruits of your choice, such as sliced berries, diced peaches, or chopped mango.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious, grain-free breakfast pudding chilled.
Tips
- Choose Your Milk Wisely: While almond milk is a great option, feel free to experiment with other plant-based milks like coconut or oat milk for a different flavor profile.
- Sweeten to Taste: Adjust the amount of maple syrup based on your personal preference. You can also substitute it with honey or agave syrup for a different sweetness.
- Chill Time is Key: For the best results, allow the chia pudding to sit in the refrigerator overnight. This will give it the perfect pudding-like consistency.
- Mix It Up: Don't hesitate to get creative with your toppings! Try adding nuts, seeds, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra flavor boost.
- Prep in Batches: Make a larger batch of chia pudding to enjoy throughout the week. Just store it in airtight containers in the fridge for a quick breakfast option.
- Fresh Fruit Variety: Use seasonal fruits for the best taste and nutrition. Berries, bananas, and stone fruits all pair wonderfully with the creamy pudding.
- Presentation Matters: Layer the pudding and toppings in a clear glass to showcase the beautiful colors and textures, making it even more appetizing!
