Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tsp pure maple syrup (or sugar-free syrup)
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp chopped pecans
Instructions
- Mix the base: In a jar or bowl, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, pure maple syrup, and cinnamon. Stir thoroughly to ensure the chia seeds are well distributed and not clumping together.
- Refrigerate overnight: Cover the jar and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6-8 hours or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a creamy pudding texture.
- Add pecan topping: Before serving, sprinkle the chopped pecans over the top to add a crunchy texture and nutty flavor, completing the dish.
Notes
- Store the pudding covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, making it excellent for meal prepping multiple servings.
- For a lower sugar option, use sugar-free syrup instead of pure maple syrup.
- Feel free to customize by adding fresh fruit or other nuts as toppings.
