Peanut Butter Chia Pudding (Printable Version)

Creamy, nutty chia pudding with peanut butter and maple syrup. Perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert.

# What You Need:

→ Pudding Base

01 - 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
02 - 1/2 cup natural creamy peanut butter
03 - 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (or honey)
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
05 - Pinch of salt

06 - 1/2 cup chia seeds

→ Toppings (optional)

07 - 2 tablespoons roasted peanuts, chopped
08 - 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips or shavings
09 - 1 ripe banana, sliced
10 - Fresh berries

# How-To:

01 - In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the almond milk, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is completely smooth and well blended.
02 - Add the chia seeds to the wet mixture and stir thoroughly to ensure even distribution throughout the liquid.
03 - Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a creamy pudding consistency.
04 - Remove from the refrigerator and stir the pudding once more to break up any clumps and restore a uniform, creamy texture.
05 - Divide the pudding evenly among serving glasses or bowls. Top with chopped peanuts, dark chocolate shavings, sliced banana, or fresh berries as desired.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Five minutes of stirring before bed means you wake up to something that tastes like dessert but fuels you like a proper meal.
  • The peanut butter maple combination is so rich that nobody believes it is healthy until you show them the ingredient list.
02 -
  • If you skip the second stir before serving you will find unpleasant gummy pockets that ruin the creamy experience entirely.
  • Blending the wet ingredients before adding chia seeds creates an impossibly smooth base that feels like a milkshake.
03 -
  • Make a double batch on Sunday night and portion it into four jars for grab and go breakfasts through Wednesday.
  • A pinch of cinnamon stirred in with the wet ingredients adds warmth without anyone guessing your secret.
