Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 2 tablespoons brewed coffee (strong, cooled)
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of cinnamon (optional)

Toppings

  • Dark chocolate shavings or cacao nibs for topping
  • Optional: dollop of yogurt
  • Optional: a few coffee beans for garnish

Instructions

  1. Mix liquids and flavors: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the almond milk, brewed coffee, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until the ingredients are well combined.
  2. Add chia seeds: Slowly stir in the chia seeds while whisking for about a minute to prevent clumping and ensure an even mixture.
  3. Chill the pudding: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a creamy pudding consistency.
  4. Serve and garnish: Before serving, give the pudding a quick stir. Spoon it into glasses or jars and garnish with a dollop of yogurt, a sprinkle of dark chocolate shavings or cacao nibs, and optionally a few coffee beans for an elegant presentation. Enjoy chilled as a refreshing breakfast or snack.

Notes

  • You can substitute brewed coffee with matcha powder for a matcha chia pudding variation.
  • Add cocoa powder for a mocha flavor twist.
  • Use mashed bananas or dates as alternative natural sweeteners instead of maple syrup or honey.
  • Try different plant-based milks like oat or cashew milk for varied textures and flavors.
  • This pudding keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a vegan option, use maple syrup instead of honey and plant-based milk.
