This Raspberry Chia Pudding is a creamy, nutritious, and naturally sweetened dessert or breakfast option made with chia seeds soaked in almond milk and infused with fresh raspberries.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Pudding:

  • 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

Optional Toppings:

  • Sliced almonds or chopped nuts
  • Shredded coconut
  • Additional raspberries or mixed berries
  • Extra drizzle of maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Mix the Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined. Stir again after 5 minutes to prevent clumping and ensure even texture.
  2. Mash the Raspberries: Gently mash the raspberries with a fork to release their juices, then stir them into the chia mixture to naturally infuse the pudding with berry flavor. For a smoother consistency, you can blend the raspberries before mixing.
  3. Let It Set: Cover the bowl or transfer the mixture to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight until the pudding thickens and sets. If it becomes too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen the texture.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Stir the pudding well, then divide into serving cups. Add your favorite toppings such as sliced almonds, shredded coconut, fresh berries, or an extra drizzle of maple syrup before serving. For added texture, layer with granola or yogurt if desired.

Notes

  • Stir the pudding 5 minutes after mixing the ingredients to prevent chia seed clumps.
  • Use fresh or frozen raspberries depending on availability; frozen can be thawed or blended directly.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to taste.
  • Can be made dairy-free or vegan by using plant-based milk alternatives.
  • Layer with granola or yogurt for additional texture and nutrition.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
