Make this simple, dairy-free coconut chia pudding. It requires only five ingredients and sets up overnight for a quick, healthy breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or sweetener of choice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine the chia seeds, coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt in a jar or container.
  2. Stir the mixture well for about one minute to prevent the chia seeds from clumping at the bottom.
  3. Let the mixture sit on the counter for 5 minutes, then stir again thoroughly. This second stir helps achieve a creamy texture.
  4. Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the pudding thickens.
  5. Serve cold with your preferred toppings, such as fresh berries or toasted coconut flakes.

Notes

  • For an extra rich texture, substitute 1/4 cup of the coconut milk with 1/4 cup of coconut cream from the top of the can.
  • This recipe is naturally vegan and gluten free.
  • To make this recipe taste like a Raffaello dessert, add 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract along with the vanilla.
