Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup non-dairy milk (such as almond, soy, or oat milk)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder
Toppings (optional)
- Chopped peanuts
- Shaved chocolate
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, stir together the chia seeds, non-dairy milk, vanilla extract, pure maple syrup, peanut butter, and cocoa powder until the mixture is completely smooth and uniform in texture.
- Chill the Pudding: Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the pudding to chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, so that the chia seeds can absorb the liquid and thicken the mixture to a creamy consistency.
- Serve: Before serving, stir the pudding to ensure an even texture. Top with chopped peanuts and shaved chocolate for added crunch and a decorative touch.
Notes
- You can substitute the non-dairy milk with any milk of your choice, including dairy milk.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup to your preference.
- For a smoother texture, blend the mixture briefly before chilling.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To make this recipe vegan and dairy-free, ensure that the peanut butter contains no added dairy ingredients and use plant-based milk.
