Ingredients

¼ cup chia seeds black or white work
1 cup oat milk
1-2 tbsp maple syrup (or any sweetener) or to taste
1 tsp vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon

Instructions

To a sealable container, add all the ingredients and whisk until combined. Make sure all the chia seeds are submerged in the liquid. Let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes and then, give it another whisk.
Cover tightly and transfer to the fridge. Let the pudding sit for at least 2 hours, but ideally 4 hours or overnight. You can stir one more time after one hour, but that's optional.
When ready to enjoy, stir well and adjust consistency/flavor to your liking. Serve with fruits, nut butter, granola, chocolate chips or any toppings you like. Enjoy!

Notes

Storage: this is such a perfect make-ahead plant-based snack or breakfast. You can make double or triple batch and keep it in the fridge for up to 5 days. Over time, the pudding will get thicker, which you can adjust by adding a little more milk.
You can add any flavoring ingredients that you like, such as cacao powder, matcha powder, cinnamon, fruit puree and much more. Check out the blog post for more ideas!
