Ingredients
Serves 1
- ½ c full fat coconut milk from a can
- 3 tbs pumpkin puree
- 1.5 tbs chia seeds
- 1 tsp pure maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- Sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice (if you don’t have this, sprinkle some allspice, nutmeg and cloves)
Directions
- Shake the can of coconut milk very well prior to opening. This will ensure the milk and the cream combine. If you open the can and it’s not smooth, pour it all in the blender until you have a smooth consistency.
- Combine 1/2 c coconut milk, 2 tbs pumpkin puree and 1 tsp pure maple syrup in a bowl.
- Once the liquids are combined into a smooth consistency, add the chia seeds, cinnamon and sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice. Mix it realllllll goooodddd. Pro tip, a spoon is much easier to mix with than a fork here.
- Place in a class container with a lid (I even prep mine in this container!) and stick in the fridge overnight. The chia seeds will do their magic and absorb the liquids to form a pudding-like consistency.
- The next day, enjoy as a grab-and-go breakfast, a sweet snack or a healthier dessert! The Pumpkin Pie Chia Pudding will stay fresh in your fridge for a week, so feel free to prep at the beginning of the week to enjoy for days!
Pro tip – feel free to play around with this recipe until you get it exactly how you like it! Like a strong pumpkin flavor? Add more pumpkin. Wanna spice up your life? Add more spices. If you want a softer, creamier consistency, try more liquids or add a scoop of plain or vanilla yogurt! Have fun making it your own!
