Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Chia seeds
- 2 cups Oat milk
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- 0.5 cup Fresh berries (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Shredded coconut (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together oat milk, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Add chia seeds to the mixture, and whisk until the seeds are evenly distributed.
Let the mixture stand for about 5 minutes, then whisk again to prevent the chia seeds from clumping together.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until the pudding has thickened.
Before serving, give the pudding a good stir to ensure an even consistency.
Divide the pudding into four serving dishes. If desired, top with fresh berries and shredded coconut for added flavor and texture.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
