Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup fresh berries (such as blueberries or strawberries)
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds, unsweetened almond milk, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon.
Whisk the mixture thoroughly to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed and not clumping together.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, and place it in the refrigerator.
Allow the chia seed mixture to set and thicken for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight for the best texture.
Before serving, give the pudding a good stir. If the mixture is too thick for your liking, add a little more almond milk to achieve your desired consistency.
Divide the pudding into two serving dishes.
Top each serving with fresh berries and a tablespoon of sliced almonds.
Serve immediately or store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
