Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • 1/2 cup brewed coffee, cooled
  • 3 tbsp chia seeds

Sweeteners & Flavorings

  • 23 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Brew Coffee: Brew strong coffee and allow it to cool completely to avoid cooking the chia seeds or affecting the texture of the pudding.
  2. 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.
  3. Add Chia Seeds: Add chia seeds to the liquid mixture and stir thoroughly to ensure they are evenly distributed.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Adjust Consistency: Before serving, check the pudding’s thickness and add extra milk if you prefer a thinner consistency. Stir well.
  7. 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.
