Ingredients
  

Pudding Base
  • 0.25 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
  • 3 tbsp creamy peanut butter natural
  • 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon optional
  • 1 pinch sea salt
Topping
  • 2 tbsp semi-sweet chocolate chips

Equipment

  • Glass mason jar
  • Whisk
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the creamy peanut butter and maple syrup until a smooth paste forms.
  2. Gradually whisk in the almond milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sea salt until completely smooth and uniform.
  3. Sprinkle the chia seeds into the liquid mixture and whisk vigorously for 1-2 minutes until all seeds are submerged.
  4. Let the mixture rest on the counter for 5 to 10 minutes.
  5. Give the mixture one final, vigorous stir to break up any clumps that have formed.
  6. Pour the mixture into a glass jar, seal tightly, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
  7. Before serving, top the chilled pudding with semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Notes

Store in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For meal prep, multiply the recipe and divide into individual jars before chilling. Add the chocolate chips right before eating to maintain their crunch.
