This Peanut Butter Chocolate Chia Pudding is a creamy, nutritious treat that’s perfect for breakfast or dessert. Rich in protein and fiber, it combines the indulgence of peanut butter and cocoa with the wholesome benefits of chia seeds.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup chia seeds
• 1 cup non dairy milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 3 tablespoons peanut butter
• 1 1/2 tablespoon cocoa powder

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine chia seeds, non dairy milk, vanilla extract, maple syrup, peanut butter, and cocoa powder. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is completely smooth and the peanut butter is fully incorporated.
2. Step 2: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding consistency.
3. Step 3: Before serving, give the pudding a good stir. Add toppings such as chopped peanuts and shaved chocolate for extra texture and flavor if desired.

Tips & Variations

• Use crunchy peanut butter for added texture or swap with almond butter for a different nutty flavor.
• Add a pinch of cinnamon or chili powder for a warm, spicy twist.
• To make it sweeter, adjust the maple syrup quantity to your taste.
• If the pudding is too thick after chilling, stir in a little more non dairy milk to reach your preferred consistency.

Storage

Store the pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Stir well before serving, and it can be enjoyed cold or at room temperature. If it thickens too much in the fridge, add a splash of non dairy milk to loosen it up.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular milk instead of non dairy milk?

Yes, you can substitute with regular dairy milk or any plant-based milk of your choice. The texture and flavor will remain delicious.

How do chia seeds make the pudding thick?

Chia seeds absorb liquid and form a gel-like coating around each seed, which thickens the mixture into a pudding consistency when left to soak.
