Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup chia seeds (80g)
- 2 cup plant milk
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1 – 2 tbsp maple syrup (can sweeten with chopped dates or liquid sweetener of choice)
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Optional Garnishes
- Dairy-free chocolate chips, chopped
- Roasted peanuts, chopped
*All the ingredients for this recipe are from our pantry and freezer tips!
Instructions
*You can use water in place of the plant milk. The pudding just won’t have as much flavour and won’t have a creamy texture.
- Add the chia seeds to a medium sized bowl and pour in the plant milk. Quickly use a whisk or fork to disperse the seeds right away. The seeds will want to clump immediately so make sure to not let them sit in the milk.
- Whisk in the peanut butter, sweetener of choice, and vanilla extract. A liquid sweetener makes for a very quick preparation but feel free to chop up 2-3 pitted dates and disperse them through the pudding for little morsels of sweetness. *If your plant milk is already sweetened you may find that you don’t need much (or any) sweetener.
- Allow the pudding to sit and thicken in the fridge for 15 minutes. Give it another stir to disperse any chia seeds that may have clumped. Enjoy right away or portion into individual servings and store in the fridge for up to 5 days. I like to make four 150 g portions using 4 oz jars.
- Garnish individual portions with some shaved chocolate, chopped peanuts, and maybe another drizzle of peanut butter if desired.
Notes
Approximate Cost: $2.70 Canadian using 2 tbsp maple syrup and chia seeds purchased from my wholesale store. $3.50 using chia seeds from my local grocery store. Buying a chia pudding from a cafe would likely cost me $4.99 – $6.99 for just one portion.
