Ingredients
For the chia pudding:
3 cups unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup chia seeds
¼ cup gluten free steel cut oats (optional if want extra thickness)
1-3 Tbsp of pure maple syrup, to taste
Suggested toppings
Granola
Fresh or frozen fruit
Coconut flakes
Pure maple syrup
Cinnamon
Nuts and seeds
Banana Puree
Instructions
- Whisk the almond milk, chia seeds, and maple syrup together in a large bowl (or use large mason jar and shake). Let sit for 5-10 minutes and then whisk again (this just helps prevent clumping).
- Cover and chill in the fridge for 2.5-3 hours, or overnight. It helps to stir the mixture every so often during this time, but don't worry if you can't.
- Stir well (or shake mason jar) before serving. Portion into bowl(s) and add your desired toppings. Leftovers will keep in an air-tight container in the fridge for 3-5 days.
