Scale

Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup brewed coffee (cooled)
  • 1 cup plant-based milk (e.g., coconut or almond milk)
  • 2 tablespoons sweetener (adjust to taste)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Measure Chia Seeds: Measure 6 tablespoons of chia seeds and place them in a bowl or jar.
  2. Prepare Coffee: Brew 1 cup of coffee and allow it to cool completely before using it in the recipe.
  3. Combine Chia and Coffee: Pour the cooled coffee over the chia seeds in the bowl.
  4. Add Milk: Add 1 cup of your chosen plant-based milk to the mixture to give it creaminess.
  5. Add Sweetener: Incorporate 2 tablespoons of sweetener into the mixture, adjusting to your taste preference.
  6. Add Vanilla Extract: Pour 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract into the mixture to enhance flavor.
  7. Mix Well: Stir all ingredients together until thoroughly combined to ensure chia seeds are evenly distributed.
  8. Initial Rest: Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow chia seeds to absorb the liquid.
  9. Stir to Prevent Clumps: Stir again to break up any clumps and ensure a smooth consistency.
  10. Refrigerate: Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the pudding to set and thicken.

Notes

  • Use cold brewed coffee for a smoother coffee flavor and less acidity.
  • Adjust the sweetener type and quantity based on dietary preferences, such as maple syrup, agave, or stevia.
  • For a creamier texture, you can substitute part of the plant-based milk with coconut cream.
  • Be sure to stir the pudding a couple of times during the first 10 minutes to prevent chia seeds from clumping.
  • This pudding can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
