Description
A deliciously simple dessert that combines the tartness of fresh raspberries with the natural sweetness of maple syrup. Perfect for breakfast, a snack, or a light dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries (plus more for topping)
- Sliced almonds or chopped nuts
- Shredded coconut
- Additional raspberries or mixed berries
- Extra drizzle of maple syrup
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
- Gently fold in the raspberries, being careful not to break them too much. They should remain somewhat whole for added texture and flavor.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
- Once set, give the pudding a good stir. Serve it in bowls and top with additional raspberries, sliced almonds, shredded coconut, and a drizzle of maple syrup for extra sweetness.
Notes
Ensure you mix the chia seeds thoroughly into the liquid to prevent clumping. For a creamier texture, blend the pudding ingredients before refrigerating. Adjust sweetness according to taste.
