Ingredients

Chocolate Chia Pudding

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste

Peanut Butter Chia Pudding

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 2 tbsp natural peanut butter
  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Toppings (Optional)

  • Dark chocolate
  • Cacao nibs
  • Chopped peanuts

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chocolate Chia Pudding: In a bowl, whisk together the chia seeds, cocoa powder, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla bean paste until fully combined. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again to prevent chia seeds from clumping.
  2. Prepare Peanut Butter Chia Pudding: In a separate bowl, whisk together chia seeds, natural peanut butter, milk, maple syrup, vanilla bean paste, and a pinch of salt if desired. Let this mixture sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again to ensure even consistency.
  3. Set the Puddings: Cover both bowls and refrigerate the chia puddings for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a thick, pudding-like texture.
  4. Assemble and Serve: Once set, layer the chocolate and peanut butter chia puddings into bowls, cups, or jars. Top with your favorite toppings such as dark chocolate shavings, cacao nibs, or chopped peanuts for added flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use any milk of choice such as almond, oat, soy, or dairy milk depending on your dietary preferences.
  • Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or agave nectar if preferred.
  • Allowing the pudding to set overnight enhances the flavor and thickens the texture.
  • Adjust the sweetness to taste by adding more or less maple syrup.
  • For a smoother texture, blend the peanut butter chia mixture before refrigerating.
  • This recipe is vegan and gluten free if using plant-based milk and pure maple syrup.
