Preparation

Step 1

Combine, then heat almond milk, cream, pancake syrup and vanilla (you can do this on the stove … I do it in the microwave, by pressing the "Beverage" button). You want it hot, but not necessarily scalding.

While the liquid heats, combine the chia, nut meal, nuts, spices and salt. Mix them up a bit.

When the liquid is hot, pour it over the top of the chia seeds and stir. It's good to stir the chia about every minute or two, for the first 4 or 5 minutes. Then, just let it sit there and gel. Maybe stir it once more. After about 20 total minutes of the chia absorbing the liquid, it will be perfect. Feel free to garnish with some more nuts and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Eat!

Made this for breakfast!It was wonderful and very filling.
