Ingredients

  • ¼ cup chia seeds
  • 2 cups almond milk or plant-based milk of your choice
  • 2 cups pumpkin purée
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • Pinch chili powder
  • Ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional)
  • Coconut flakes for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Mix the chia seeds and almond milk in a jar or bowl, and let the mixture set for 5 minutes. Whisk or stir the mixture vigorously to evenly disperse the chia seeds. Cover the jar, and transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, chili powder, and black pepper.
  • Remove the chia pudding from the refrigerator, and stir in the pumpkin purée, dry spice mixture, vanilla extract, and maple syrup (if using). Serve garnished with coconut flakes.

This pudding is wonderful! I used pumpkin oat milk, which happened to be a seasonal item at my store, and the additional pumpkin made it even more scrumptious!

How many calories per serving?

I used 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice instead of cinnamon/ginger/nutmeg/cloves. My partner said "it tastes like Thanksgiving!" But, I think it was missing something despite the tastiness. He cut out sugar a decade ago, but my taste buds are still adjusting, so maybe later on, I'll like it more.

This is so good! I rarely get to eat sweet breakfast because I can’t digest fructose. This is such a delicious treat that feels good to eat. I added flax seed and crushed oats on top. A dollop of cashew cream would make this perfect.

This recipe is tasty. I think I would add a little more cinnamon and nutmeg next time, but overall it was good.
