Chocolate Chia Pudding with Blueberries
This deliciously easy recipe is great served to company as well as for a yummy breakfast. Chia seeds plump up quickly in the fridge and are ready any time of the day.
Servings: 4 people
Equipment
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
Ingredients
- 2 cups non-dairy milk unsweetened
- 1/3 cup chia seeds
- 1/4 cup cacao powder (or cocoa powder)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (or more if you'd like it sweeter)
- 1 carton fresh blueberries or frozen
- 1/4 cup slivered almonds
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, blend the cacao powder, vanilla extract, maple syrup and vanilla with a little plant milk until you get a paste.. Then add the rest of the milk. Stir to combine. Taste and if you'd like it sweeter, add more maple syrup or Stevia.
- Add the chia seeds and stir. Refrigerate for a couple of hours until the chia seeds swell, stirring once in a while to blend.
- When the mixture is pudding-like, put into individual serving dishes and top with blueberries or another of your favorite fruits and a few slivered almonds or just leave in the bowl and refrigerator for 4-5 days.
Notes
*I recommend using Ceylon cinnamon, which has a sweeter, more delicate flavor, because the most common cinnamon, cassia, contains coumarin, a naturally occurring compound that may be toxic to the liver at doses of 1 teaspoon per day for adults and 1/4 teaspoon for children a few times a week.
