📝 Recipe Ingredients
📋 Ingredient Notes
- You can use any non-dairy milk of choice, here I've used almond milk.
- You can also use any sweetener you like, Keto maple syrup is one of the greatest choices too.
- Cinnamon and vanilla are used for flavoring, you can skip one or both and use your favorite flavoring, more on that in the variation section.
🥄 Recipe Instructions
Note: This is an overview of the instructions. The full instructions are in the recipe card below.
- Pour milk in a Mason jar.
- Add sweetener, cinnamon and vanilla extract. Mix to combine.
- Add two tablespoons of chia seeds.
- Mix them very well until there is no clumps. Wait for 2-3 minutes then stir again before refrigerating.
💡 Expert Tips
- I cannot stress enough on the importance of good stirring, this makes a huge difference. Stir chia seeds vigorously into the milk for about 10-15 times until there are no clumps.
- After that wait for a few minutes and stir again.
- Check your pudding after an hour or two in the fridge, if it separates take them out and stir again cover and continue to refrigerate.
- After 4 hours your pudding will still be a bit liquid, the more it stays in the fridge the more pudding like it will get.
👩🍳 Variations
There are endless way to flavor and serve your chia pudding. Garnishing it with fresh fruits. nuts, Keto cereal, almond butter, peanut butter ...etc. Add a teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder instead of vanilla and cinnamon for chocolate pudding. Mix in matcha powder, pumpkin spice, sugar free jams work well too.
