Prepare the Pudding Base:
Begin by adding chia seeds into a large mixing bowl. Pour in almond milk (or whole milk if preferred) and stir well to combine. Make sure the seeds are evenly distributed throughout the milk. -
Add Flavor & Texture:
To the chia-seed-milk mixture, add raisins, chopped walnuts, vanilla extract, cinnamon powder, and honey. Stir the ingredients together until well combined. The honey will bring natural sweetness, while the vanilla and cinnamon will provide a comforting aromatic flavor. -
Refrigerate:
Transfer the pudding mixture into individual dessert glass cups or bowls. Cover them with cling film or plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator to set overnight. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and expand, creating a creamy, thickened pudding texture by morning. -
Garnish and Serve:
Before serving, garnish each serving with fresh seasonal fruits such as strawberries, blueberries, or any fruits of your choice. You can also add a few extra raisins and chopped walnuts on top for an extra crunch and burst of flavor. -
Serving Suggestion:
This Almond Milk Chia Seeds Pudding makes a great part of a healthy breakfast. Pair it with a Poached Eggs Recipe or a fresh Arugula Fig Walnut Salad for a complete and balanced meal. The combination of protein, fiber, and antioxidants makes it a wonderful choice to kick-start your day.
Chefβs Tips:
- For a richer flavor, you can substitute almond milk with coconut milk or oat milk.
- If you prefer a sweeter pudding, adjust the amount of honey to suit your taste. You could also use maple syrup or agave nectar as an alternative sweetener.
- For a fun twist, add a dash of nutmeg or cardamom to the mixture along with the cinnamon.
- Make the pudding ahead of time for a busy week. Store it in individual jars or airtight containers for a quick grab-and-go breakfast or snack.
