If you're looking for a delicious fall breakfast or healthy snack, this Pumpkin Chia Pudding is a must-try! With minimal prep time, you'll have a nutritious breakfast full of healthy fats and fiber waiting for you in the morning. I hope you enjoy it as much as i do! 😊
In a medium bowl, combine the milk, yogurt, pumpkin, vanilla, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and kosher salt. Whisk very well or use a handheld milk frother until it is creamy with small bubbles forming.
Add the chia seeds and stir with a whisk or fork. Let the mixture rest 10-15 minutes and give it another good stir. This helps prevent the chia seeds from clumping. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Hint: It will thicken up quite a bit in the fridge and I prefer my chia pudding quite thick personally! If you prefer it thinner, wait to add another splash of milk after the 4 hours if needed.
Notes
Expert Tips
Use a milk frother to combine the milk/yogurt mixture to make this easy breakfast extra creamy!
Don't skip the double stir. After whisking in the chia seeds, let it sit about 10-15 minutes at room temperature and whisk it very well again before refrigerating.
Patience is key! Give it at least 4 hours in the fridge for the chia seeds to plump up to their full potential. Make it the night before and portion it into individual containers for a ready-to-go breakfast.
Storage
Refrigerator - store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
