Ingredients

  • 2 cups coconut milk or unsweetened almond milk or any non-dairy milk
  • ½ cup black or white chia seeds
  • 3-5 tablespoons maple syrup or honey if not vegan
  • ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt

Optional Toppings

  • fresh fruit
  • chopped nuts
  • chocolate chips
  • shredded coconut

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4-5 hours, or overnight, until pudding has thickened.
  • When ready to eat, stir, serve in small bowls or jars and top with fruit or other desired toppings.

Notes

  • Make and refrigerate overnight and have pudding ready in the morning.
  • For a thicker pudding, add a little more chia seeds and allow to thicken.
  • To make a smaller batch, the general ratio is 2 tablespoons of chia seeds to ½ cup of dairy-free milk. You can mix the two ingredients directly in an individual single-serving glass jar or mason jar if desired.
