Scale
Primary Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup brewed coffee (cooled)
- 1 cup plant-based milk (such as coconut milk or almond milk)
- 2 tablespoons sweetener (adjust to taste)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare Chia Seeds: Measure 6 tablespoons of chia seeds and place them in a bowl or jar to start your pudding base.
- Cool Brewed Coffee: Make sure to brew 1 cup of coffee and let it cool completely before mixing it with the chia seeds to avoid cooking them prematurely.
- Combine Coffee and Chia: Pour the cooled coffee into the bowl containing the chia seeds and stir gently to blend.
- Add Plant-Based Milk: Pour in 1 cup of your preferred plant-based milk, such as coconut or almond milk, to add creaminess and flavor to the pudding.
- Sweeten the Mixture: Stir in 2 tablespoons of sweetener, adjusting the amount to match your taste preferences for sweetness.
- Add Vanilla Extract: Add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to enhance the aroma and depth of flavor in the pudding.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir everything together thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and the chia seeds are evenly dispersed.
- Initial Rest: Let the mixture sit for a few minutes, allowing the chia seeds to begin absorbing the liquid.
- Stir Again: Give the pudding another good stir to break up any clumps that may have formed, ensuring a smooth texture.
- Chill: Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the chia seeds to fully hydrate and the pudding to set.
Notes
- Use cooled coffee to prevent chia seeds from clumping or cooking prematurely.
- Adjust the sweetener based on your preferred level of sweetness or dietary needs.
- Experiment with different plant-based milks for varied flavors and creaminess.
- Make the pudding the night before for a quick, ready-to-eat breakfast.
- Optional toppings like nuts, seeds, or fresh fruit can add texture and nutrition.
- This recipe is naturally vegan and gluten-free.
