Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 2 tablespoons Pecans, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoons Nutmeg (optional)
- 1 pinch Salt
- 0.5 piece Ripe banana, sliced (optional topping)
- 1 tablespoon Additional chopped pecans (optional topping)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the chia seeds, ground flaxseed, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and a pinch of salt.
Stir the mixture continuously over medium-low heat for about 4-5 minutes, or until it thickens and becomes oatmeal-like in consistency. The chia seeds and flaxseed will absorb the liquid and create a creamy texture.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chopped pecans.
Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl.
Top with additional chopped pecans and sliced banana, if desired, for extra texture and sweetness.
Serve warm and enjoy this cozy, pecan pie-inspired breakfast!
