Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy such as almond, oat, or soy milk)
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (ensure it is pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 12 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust sweetness to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl or a mason jar, whisk together the milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until well blended and smooth.
  2. Add Chia Seeds: Stir in the chia seeds ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  3. Refrigerate: Cover the mixture or seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to swell and the pudding to thicken.
  4. Stir and Serve: Before serving, stir the pudding well to break up any clumps. Serve chilled on its own or topped with additional cinnamon, nuts, or fruit if desired.

Notes

  • Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to avoid extra sugars and additives.
  • Adjust the maple syrup quantity based on your preferred level of sweetness.
  • This pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, making it great for meal prep.
  • Feel free to top with granola, nuts, or fresh fruit for added texture and flavor.
  • If the pudding is too thick after refrigeration, stir in a little more milk to reach desired consistency.
