Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, coconut, etc.)
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

Flavor Enhancers (optional)

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)

Topping

  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries

Instructions

  1. Combine the chia seeds and milk: Pour your chosen milk into a bowl or jar and stir in the chia seeds, making sure they’re evenly distributed. This creates the base that will thicken overnight into luscious pudding.
  2. Sweeten with maple syrup: Add the pure maple syrup to the mixture and whisk gently to incorporate. The syrup sweetens the pudding and adds a beautiful amber hue to the creamy base.
  3. Stir in flavor enhancers: If using vanilla extract or lemon zest, add them now to elevate the flavors and complement the raspberries.
  4. Refrigerate overnight: Cover the bowl or container and place it in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid, forming a thick and creamy pudding texture.
  5. Add raspberries and serve: Before serving, gently fold in the fresh raspberries or scatter them on top to keep them juicy and vibrant, enhancing both taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen raspberries; thaw and drain frozen berries before using to avoid excess moisture.
  • Adjust sweetness by starting with less maple syrup and tasting before adding more.
  • Stir the pudding 2-3 times during the first hour of soaking to prevent clumping and ensure even hydration.
  • Choose high-quality chia seeds for the best texture; avoid seeds that smell rancid or look dull.
  • Experiment with different types of milk to change texture and flavor as desired.
