Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the milk, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and maple syrup. Use a whisk to stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
  2. Add Chia Seeds: Add the chia seeds to the bowl and mix well to ensure the seeds are evenly distributed throughout the pumpkin mixture.
  3. Chill: Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator. Let the pudding chill and set for at least 4 hours, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the mixture.
  4. Serve: Once set, enjoy the pudding cold. Optional toppings include whipped cream, fresh fruit, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or chopped nuts for extra flavor and texture.
  5. Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
