Pumpkin Pudding with Chia Seeds

Have you ever tried chia pudding? If not, this pumpkin pudding is a great introduction. When combined with liquid, chia seeds form a gel-like consistency that’s very similar to pudding. They’re also full of fiber and omega-3’s. Add pumpkin pureé and pumpkin pie spice to that mix, and you have a bona fide dessert.

It’s a perfect grain-free alternative to oatmeal or a healthier version of pumpkin pudding that you can prep ahead and store in the fridge for a wholesome fall breakfast or a late-night treat.

Ingredients

This recipe calls for only ½ cup of pure pumpkin pureé, so it’s perfect when you need something to make with canned pumpkin leftovers from another recipe. You’ll also need chia seeds, milk, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and, optionally, molasses.

How to Make Pumpkin Chia Pudding

Combine.
Stir together the ingredients until combined. Optionally, you can blend all the ingredients after soaking to create a smoother consistency.
Chill.
Place in the fridge and let sit overnight, or at least 4 hours.
Top.
Divide the pudding into 2 jars, top with nuts, fruit, and a drizzle of maple syrup or molasses.
