Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 cup pure pumpkin puree
  • 4 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ⅓ cup chia seeds (black or white)
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • Pinch of salt

Toppings

  • ¼ cup crushed graham crackers
  • Whipped cream (as desired)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a high-powered blender, add the milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla extract, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and uniform.
  2. Chill the Pudding: Pour the blended chia pudding evenly into 4 small glass jars or containers, each holding about ¾ cup. Cover them well and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the pudding to a creamy consistency.
  3. Add Toppings and Serve: Once thickened, remove the jars from the fridge and top each pudding with crushed graham crackers and a generous dollop of whipped cream. Serve immediately for a delightful autumn-inspired treat.

Notes

  • You can substitute the milk with almond, coconut, oat, or any plant-based milk for a dairy-free option.
  • Maple syrup can be replaced with honey or agave syrup to vary sweetness.
  • Use fresh pumpkin puree or canned 100% pumpkin for best flavor.
  • The chia pudding will keep refrigerated for up to 3 days, making it ideal for meal prep.
  • Adjust the amount of pumpkin pie spice to taste if you prefer it more or less spiced.
