Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup chia seeds These tiny super seeds provide a delightful crunch and a burst of nutrition.
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree Rich and creamy, this pumpkin puree adds depth and a hint of earthiness.
  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk This smooth, dairy-free milk is the base that ties everything together.
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup A natural sweetener that enhances the flavors while providing a touch of sweetness.
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon This aromatic spice brings warmth and a cozy feeling to every bite.
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg Adds an extra layer of flavor, complementing the pumpkin perfectly.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract This fragrant addition rounds out the flavor profile, making it truly irresistible.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
  2. Slowly stir in the chia seeds, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture to avoid clumping.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, although leaving it overnight is recommended for the best results.
  4. Before serving, stir the pudding to break up any clumps and smooth the texture.
  5. Pour into individual bowls and add your favorite toppings, such as nuts, fruits, or a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy every spoonful!

Notes

Feel free to modify the amount of maple syrup based on your personal taste. You may also substitute it with honey if you prefer. Consider soaking the chia seeds in the almond milk for about 15 minutes for a creamier texture.
