Prep Time15 minutes
Total Time15 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons Dutch process cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • Assorted toppings as desired

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the plant-based milk, chia seeds, Dutch process cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
  • Use a whisk or spoon to mix the ingredients thoroughly until the cocoa powder is fully incorporated and there are no clumps of chia seeds.
  • Allow the mixture to sit for about 5-10 minutes. This will help the chia seeds absorb the liquid and begin to swell.
  • After the resting period, give the mixture another good stir to break up any clumps of chia seeds that may have formed.
  • Transfer the pudding into a jar or container with a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. The longer it sits, the thicker it will become.
  • When you’re ready to enjoy your Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding, give it a good stir and add your favorite toppings.
