Description
A creamy, no-cook chia seed pudding infused with warm apple pie spices, fresh apples, and a touch of maple sweetness—perfect for a healthy breakfast, snack, or dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups almond milk or milk of choice
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- Optional: 1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
- Optional: 1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries
- Optional: A pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir well to combine.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, stirring occasionally to prevent clumping.
- Peel, core, and dice apples into small cubes.
- Once pudding thickens, fold in the diced apples and optional add-ins like nuts or dried fruit.
- Serve immediately for crunch or chill another hour for a softer texture.
Notes
Use crisp apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith for the best contrast. Always use cold milk to avoid chia seed clumping. Adjust sweetener based on apple variety.
