Base Ingredients
- 1 cup milk of choice
- 1/2 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 3 tbsp chia seeds
Sweeteners & Flavorings
- 2–3 tbsp maple syrup or honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of sea salt
- Brew Coffee: Brew strong coffee and allow it to cool completely to avoid cooking the chia seeds or affecting the texture of the pudding.
- Mix Liquid Ingredients: In a bowl or jar, whisk together milk, cooled coffee, your choice of sweetener (maple syrup or honey), vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt until well combined.
- Add Chia Seeds: Add chia seeds to the liquid mixture and stir thoroughly to ensure they are evenly distributed.
- Prevent Clumps: After 10 to 15 minutes, stir the mixture again to break up any clumps that may form, helping to achieve a smoother pudding texture.
- Refrigerate: Cover and refrigerate the pudding for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight so the chia seeds can absorb the liquid and the pudding can thicken.
- Adjust Consistency: Before serving, check the pudding’s thickness and add extra milk if you prefer a thinner consistency. Stir well.
- Serve: Serve the creamy coffee chia pudding topped with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Notes
- For a stronger coffee flavor, use espresso or a concentrate of brewed coffee.
- Sweetener quantities can be adjusted according to taste or dietary needs.
- Use any type of milk (dairy or plant-based) depending on preference or dietary restrictions.
- Stirring after 10-15 minutes is important to avoid chia seeds clumping together.
- This pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making it great for meal prep.
