Oat Milk Chia Pudding
This oat milk chia pudding is a creamy, dairy-free breakfast made with 3 ingredients: chia seeds, oat milk, and vanilla. It has 17g of fiber per serving, takes 5 minutes to make, and thickens in the fridge for an easy make-ahead breakfast or snack.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- 1 cup oat milk
- ¼ - ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 - 3 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (vegan), optional since oat milk is sweet
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon, optional for taste
- Topping Options: strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, banana slices, peach sliced, granola, chocolate chips, walnuts, pecans, almonds or other fruits
Instructions
- Mix: Add the chia seeds, oat milk, vanilla, and any optional sweetener or cinnamon to a jar or bowl. Stir well until combined.
- Stir again: Let it sit for 3 minutes, then stir again to break up any clumps. This is the step that keeps it creamy instead of lumpy.
- Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the thickest, creamiest texture.
- Serve: Stir, add your favorite toppings, and enjoy cold.
Notes
Storage: Keep chia pudding in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Add toppings only when you're ready to eat.
If it's too thin: Stir in 1 more teaspoon of chia seeds and let it sit another 30 minutes to thicken.
If it's too thick: Stir in a splash more oat milk until it reaches the texture you like.
Sweetener: Oat milk is naturally sweet, so added sweetener is optional. Use unsweetened oat milk if you want to control the sweetness yourself.
Freezing: I don't recommend it. The texture turns grainy and watery after thawing, and since it keeps for 5 days and takes minutes to make, fresh is always better.
Make it your own: Stir in cocoa powder, mashed banana, or peanut butter, or top with fresh fruit, granola, or nuts.
