Ingredients

3 cups oat milk
½ cup maple syrup
½ cup raw cacao powder cocoa powder works too
¼ cup cornstarch
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

In a medium pot, add the oat milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cacao powder and cornstarch. Then, stir and whisk well until all combined.
Then, put on the stove and turn on the heat to medium-high. Whisk often, almost constantly until bubbly and thicker, about 7-10 minutes. Whisking a lot will prevent lumping.
Once thicker, you can enjoy the pudding right away while still warm or cool it down first for a chilled treat (I like it better cold). Put a saran wrap over the pot making sure it touches the surface (so there is no film forming over the pudding) and transfer in the fridge until cooled down, 1-2 hours. It will cool down quicker if you first transfer the pudding in smaller individual containers. Enjoy!

Notes

Store in the fridge covered for up to 4-5 days. If you notice some lumping after it has cooled down, then give it a good whisk before serving.
To serve, you can garnish with fresh fruits (berries and bananas are great choices), whipped cream, granola, nuts or seeds, etc. See blog posts for more ideas!
