Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup almond milk
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, cocoa powder, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly until all ingredients are completely blended and there are no dry cocoa powder clumps.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to a sealed container. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency.
- After chilling, remove the pudding from the refrigerator and stir well to ensure a smooth texture. If the pudding seems too thick, you can thin it by whisking in a little additional almond milk.
- Divide the pudding evenly between two serving bowls or glasses.
- Optional: Garnish with additional toppings such as sliced bananas, chopped nuts, dark chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of extra peanut butter for added flavor and texture.
- Serve chilled and enjoy your creamy, nutritious Chocolate Peanut Butter Chia Pudding.
Tips
- Whisk Thoroughly: Ensure all ingredients are completely blended to avoid cocoa powder clumps and create a smooth, consistent texture.
- Patience is Key: Allow the pudding to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight. This gives chia seeds time to absorb liquid and create that perfect pudding consistency.
- Customize Your Texture: If the pudding becomes too thick, don't panic! Simply whisk in a little extra almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Get Creative with Toppings: Experiment with garnishes like fresh fruits, nuts, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of extra peanut butter to elevate your pudding.
- Make Ahead: This recipe is perfect for meal prep! It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, making it an excellent grab-and-go breakfast or dessert option.
- Use High-Quality Ingredients: Opt for pure cocoa powder, natural peanut butter, and organic maple syrup for the best flavor and nutritional profile.
