Pumpkin Chia Seed Pudding is a creamy, nutritious, and fiber-rich dish that blends fall flavors with the smooth texture of chia seeds. Perfect for breakfast, snack, or dessert, and naturally vegan and dairy-free when made with plant-based milk.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 2 tbsp Chia seeds
  • 3/4 cup Milk of choice (almond, oat, coconut, or regular)
  • 1–2 tbsp Maple syrup or honey (to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp Pumpkin pie spice (or a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl or jar, combine pumpkin purée, milk, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
  2. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add chia seeds and mix thoroughly to evenly distribute them.
  4. Let the mixture sit for 5–10 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight until it reaches a pudding-like consistency.
  6. Before serving, stir again and top with granola, nuts, coconut flakes, or yogurt if desired.

Notes

  • Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer texture.
  • Blend dates into the milk as a natural sweetener alternative.
  • Stir in almond butter or chopped pecans for added nuttiness.
  • Add protein powder or Greek yogurt before serving for extra protein.
  • If pudding thickens too much, stir in a splash of milk before serving.
