  • Total Time: 2 hours 15 minutes (including setting time)
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Chocolate Chia Pudding

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste

Peanut Butter Chia Pudding

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 2 tbsp natural peanut butter
  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Toppings

  • Dark chocolate
  • Cacao nibs
  • Chopped peanuts

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chocolate Chia Pudding: In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup chia seeds, 3 tablespoons cocoa powder, 1 cup milk of your choice, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste until fully combined. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again thoroughly to prevent the chia seeds from clumping.
  2. Prepare Peanut Butter Chia Pudding: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup chia seeds, 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter, 1 cup milk of your choice, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste, and a pinch of salt if using. Let it rest for 5 minutes before whisking again to ensure smooth consistency and avoid clumps.
  3. Refrigerate to Set: Cover both bowls and place them in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like texture.
  4. Assemble and Serve: Once set, layer the chocolate and peanut butter chia puddings into a bowl, cup, or jar in alternating layers. Finish by sprinkling your favourite toppings such as grated dark chocolate, cacao nibs, and chopped peanuts for added texture and flavor. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can use any milk variety such as almond, oat, cow’s, or soy milk depending on dietary preference.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup based on your taste.
  • For a creamier texture, consider blending the pudding briefly before refrigerating.
  • This pudding can be made up to 3 days ahead and stored covered in the fridge.
  • Try swapping peanut butter with almond or cashew butter for a different nutty flavor.
