Vanilla-Almond Chia Breakfast Pudding

By mm_food4me

Ingredients

• 2 cups unsweetened almond milk, homemade or store bought (see recipe for homemade almond milk below)
• 1/2 cup chia seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1-2 tablespoons pure maple syrup or raw honey
• Seasonal fruit for topping (blueberries, peaches, figs and plums are pictured here)
• Almonds or other nuts for topping

Preparation

Step 1

Combine almond milk, chia seeds, vanilla and sweetener in a bowl. Mix well until combined and the mixture begins to thicken. Store covered in the refrigerator overnight or for at least an hour.
Stir well before serving and add a bit of water to the pudding if it becomes too thick. Top with fresh fruit and nuts of your choice.
Note: This recipe makes enough for two large servings, but feel free to double the recipe and keep it in your refrigerator so that you have breakfast for a few days in a row. It will keep refrigerated for up to 5 days.
