Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or yogurt of choice)
- ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- Pinch sea salt
- ¼ cup chia seeds
Instructions
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the milk, yogurt, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and sea salt. Whisk thoroughly or use a handheld milk frother until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and small bubbles form on the surface.
- Add Chia Seeds: Stir in the chia seeds with a whisk or fork to ensure even distribution. Let the mixture rest for 10-15 minutes, then stir again to prevent the seeds from clumping together.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. The pudding will thicken considerably during this time.
- Adjust Consistency: Before serving, if the pudding is too thick for your liking, stir in a splash of almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, use a plant-based yogurt and almond milk.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup to taste.
- Make sure to stir the pudding a couple of times during the resting period to prevent chia seed clumps.
- Use fresh pumpkin puree or canned pumpkin not pumpkin pie filling for best results.
- This pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
