Made with chia seeds soaked in almond milk and naturally sweetened with maple syrup, it features a lightly cooked blueberry sauce for a burst of fresh fruit flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Chia Pudding

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk of your choice)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Blueberry Sauce

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)

Toppings

  • Fresh blueberries
  • Granola or shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Blueberry Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries and maple syrup. Cook over medium heat while stirring occasionally for 5-7 minutes, until the blueberries soften and release their juice.
  2. Smooth the Sauce (Optional): If you prefer a smoother texture, mash the blueberries with a fork or blend to your desired consistency.
  3. Add Lemon Juice: Stir in a teaspoon of lemon juice if you want a slight tartness. Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool.
  4. Mix Chia Pudding Base: In a medium bowl, whisk together almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
  5. Add Chia Seeds: Stir in chia seeds thoroughly to ensure they are evenly distributed.
  6. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a thick pudding.
  7. Assemble the Pudding: Once set, stir the pudding well. Spoon it into serving glasses or bowls.
  8. Top and Garnish: Add a spoonful of blueberry sauce on top and garnish with fresh blueberries and your choice of granola or shredded coconut.
  9. Serve: Serve chilled and enjoy this nutritious and tasty treat.

Notes

  • Use any plant-based milk according to your preference, such as oat, soy, or coconut milk.
  • Maple syrup can be substituted with honey, agave nectar, or another sweetener of your choice.
  • For a vegan dessert, ensure your sweetener is plant-based.
  • The lemon juice in the blueberry sauce is optional but enhances flavor with a fresh tang.
  • Make the pudding the night before for best texture and convenience.
  • Top with nuts or seeds for extra crunch and nutrition if desired.
