Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (475ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) pure vanilla extract
  • 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and seeds scraped (reserve pod for other uses)
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1.25ml) almond extract
  • 1/4 cup (40g) chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) maple syrup (or other sweetener, to taste)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions:

  1. In a medium bowl (or two jars), whisk together the almond milk, vanilla extract, vanilla bean seeds, almond extract, maple syrup, and salt.
  2. Stir in the chia seeds until well combined.
  3. Cover the bowl (or seal the jars) and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
  4. After chilling, stir the pudding well to break up any clumps. If the pudding is too thick, add a splash of almond milk. Adjust the sweetener to taste.
  5. Divide the pudding between two bowls or keep stored individually if in a jar, and add your favorite toppings. Enjoy this delightful chia seed pudding!
