Ingredients
Units
Scale
2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk)
1/2 cup Nutella
1/4 cup chia seeds
1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (optional, for added sweetness)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk, Nutella, maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Stir in the chia seeds until evenly distributed.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the pudding to thicken and the chia seeds to absorb the liquid.
- Before serving, give the pudding a good stir. Adjust sweetness if desired.
- Serve chilled, topped with fresh berries, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of extra Nutella if desired.
Notes
- If the pudding is too thick, stir in a little extra milk until you reach your desired consistency.
- For a slightly different twist, try adding a tablespoon of cocoa powder to intensify the chocolate flavor.
- This recipe is easily doubled for a larger batch or to store in individual jars for grab-and-go breakfasts.
