Ingredients
For the pudding:
- ½ cup chia seeds
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
For the apple topping:
- 1 tbsp butter (or dairy-free butter, or olive oil)
- 3 apples, peeled and chopped
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
- ½ tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- In a large jar or bowl, mix together the chia seeds, unsweetened almond milk, maple syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla. Place in the refrigerator. (See notes for alternative of portioning out ahead of time).
- Prepare the apple topping: add the butter to a pan over medium-low heat. Add the apples, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the apples are tender. Place the apples in a food storage container in the fridge.
- After an hour or two, remove the jar or bowl of chia pudding mixture and whisk or shake well. This will help break up any chia seeds that have gravitated together. Return it to the refrigerator overnight.
- In the morning, divide the chia pudding into four jars or bowls. Top with the sauteed apples and enjoy cold.
Notes
- You can also portion this out ahead of time if you have enough mason jars. Just divide up the chia pudding mixture evenly between four jars, and add the apples directly to each right after cooking. Proceed with refrigerating overnight.
- If you prefer making a single serving, you can divide the recipe by 4 and adjust up or down a bit where it makes sense. For example, instead of having ¾ of an apple, you can just use a single apple in a single serving.
- Enjoy within 4-5 days of preparing. Note that the pudding may continue to thicken over several days, so just add a splash of almond milk if necessary.
