Ingredients
Scale
Dairy & Milk
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or yogurt of choice)
- ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
Produce & Canned
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
Sweeteners & Extracts
- 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Spices & Seasonings
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- Pinch sea salt
Seeds
- ¼ cup chia seeds
Instructions
- Combine Base Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk, Greek yogurt, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of sea salt until the mixture becomes creamy and small bubbles start to form, indicating it’s well aerated.
- Add Chia Seeds and Stir: Stir in the chia seeds thoroughly using a whisk or fork. Let the mixture rest for 10-15 minutes, then stir again to break up any chia clumps and ensure even distribution.
- Refrigerate and Thicken: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the pudding for at least 4 hours, allowing it to thicken to a creamy, pudding-like consistency. If you prefer a thinner texture, add a splash more almond milk after refrigeration and stir to loosen it up.
Notes
- You can substitute Greek yogurt with any yogurt of your preference, including dairy-free options.
- Adjust sweetness by increasing or reducing the maple syrup as desired.
- The pumpkin pie spice can be made from a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves if you don’t have a pre-made blend.
- For a thinner pudding, add additional milk after refrigeration.
- This pudding is a great make-ahead option and can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
