Description
Experience a delightful journey of flavors with our Pumpkin Pie Chia Pudding — a dish that merges the comforting essence of pumpkin pie with the nutritious benefits of chia seeds.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Start by taking a mixing bowl or jar and whisk together the milk, Greek yogurt, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. This step is crucial as it creates a smooth and creamy base for your pudding. Ensure that all ingredients are well blended, contributing to a harmonious flavor profile in each spoonful.
- Once your mixture is perfectly smooth, it’s time to add in the chia seeds. Gently stir to ensure that the seeds are evenly distributed. This is essential, as chia seeds will expand and absorb liquid to create a thick, pudding-like consistency. Make sure you don’t have any clumps of chia seeds together, as this will make it less pleasant to eat.
- After mixing in the chia seeds, allow the mixture to rest at room temperature for about 5 to 10 minutes. This brief pause enables the seeds to hydrate and swell slightly, which prevents clusters from forming. Stir once again to break up any potential clumps and make sure everything remains well mixed.
- Cover your bowl or jar with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill for a minimum of two hours, or for best results, overnight. The longer it sets, the thicker it will become, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully together. When you’re ready to serve, give it another stir and adjust the sweetness if necessary.
Notes
Ensure that chia seeds are fresh; otherwise, they may not gel properly.
