  • 2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Mix chia pudding ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the chia seeds, oat milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt for about one minute until everything is well combined.
  2. Set chia pudding: Place the chia pudding mixture in the refrigerator and allow it to set for 1 to 3 hours or overnight until it thickens.

  5. Assemble jars: Evenly divide the chia pudding mixture into three small jars (approximately 6 ounces each).
  6. Add pecan cream: Pour the blended pecan cream layer on top of the chia pudding in each jar.

  8. Serve: Top the jars with additional pecan pieces if desired and enjoy your Southern Pecan Pie in a Jar Chia Pudding.

Notes

  • Soaking the pecans softens them for a smoother cream texture.
  • Overnight soaking of chia seeds can enhance pudding texture.
  • Use maple syrup as a natural sweetener to keep the recipe vegan and gluten-free.
  • This pudding is best eaten within 2-3 days when stored in the refrigerator.
  • Oat milk can be substituted with other plant-based milks as preferred.
