Ingredients

Scale

Chia Pudding Base

¼ cup chia seeds
¾ cup unsweetened almond milk
¼ cup cold brew coffee
1–2 tbsp maple syrup
½ tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp cinnamon

Instructions

Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, cold brew coffee, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Stir well until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed, ensuring the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
Initial Rest: Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to break up any clumps of chia seeds that may have formed, promoting an even pudding texture.
Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the pudding to chill and thicken for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, so the chia seeds can absorb the liquids and swell to create a creamy consistency.
Serve: Divide the chilled chia pudding evenly between two glass jars or serving dishes. Enjoy it as is or add your favorite toppings such as Greek yogurt, granola, cacao nibs, shredded coconut, fresh berries, or banana slices for extra flavor and texture.

Notes

*Cold brew coffee adds a smooth, less acidic coffee flavor to the pudding, but you can substitute with chilled black coffee if cold brew is not available.
Adjust the maple syrup quantity to your preferred level of sweetness.
This pudding can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
For a thicker pudding, increase the chia seeds by 1-2 tablespoons.
Use a dairy-free almond milk to keep the recipe vegan and lactose-free.
