Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp chia seeds (heaped)
  • 3/4 cup strong coffee, freshly brewed and cooled (175ml)
  • 3/4 cup coconut milk, full fat, from a can (175ml)
  • 2 tbsp powdered sweetener (or honey or maple syrup)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tbsp almond butter (16g, optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, add the chia seeds, strong brewed coffee, coconut milk, powdered sweetener, and if using, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and almond butter. Stir thoroughly with a fork to mix everything evenly and prevent chia seeds from clumping.
  2. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to let the chia seeds absorb the liquid and swell. For best texture and flavor, refrigerate overnight.
  3. Serve: Before serving, take the pudding out of the refrigerator and give it a good stir to break up any clumps and incorporate the almond butter if added. Enjoy chilled as a healthy, creamy, and energizing snack or breakfast.

Notes

  • Strong coffee is recommended for a robust flavor, but you can use decaf if preferred.
  • Full-fat coconut milk gives the pudding its creamy texture, but light coconut milk can be used for a lower-fat option.
  • Adjust sweetness to taste by using honey, maple syrup, or your favorite powdered sweetener.
  • Optional ingredients like vanilla extract, cinnamon, and almond butter add complexity and richness but can be omitted if desired.
  • Chia pudding thickens the longer it sits; overnight chilling yields the best consistency.
  • Serve with toppings such as nuts, fresh berries, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for extra flavor and texture.
