A quick and easy 5-ingredient chia pudding recipe perfect for busy mornings, made with almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon. Prepped overnight for a creamy, nutritious grab-and-go breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup (40g) whole black chia seeds
  • 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1–2 tablespoons pure grade A maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Measure 1/4 cup (40g) of chia seeds into a mixing bowl.
  2. Add 1 cup (240ml) of unsweetened almond milk to the bowl and stir immediately and thoroughly with a whisk or fork to prevent clumps.
  3. Add 1-2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon (if using). Whisk again until well combined.
  4. Spoon the mixture evenly into 4 small jars or lunchbox cups, leaving about 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) of space at the top.
  5. Seal the containers and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
  6. Before eating, give the pudding a quick stir if it looks separated. Top with fresh fruit, nuts, or granola if desired and serve chilled.

Notes

Mix thoroughly immediately after adding liquid to avoid clumps. Adjust thickness by adding more almond milk or chia seeds as needed. Use fresh vanilla and cinnamon for best flavor. Store sealed in fridge up to 4 days. Can freeze up to 1 month but texture may change. Reheat briefly if desired, but traditionally eaten cold.
