Chocolate Peanut Butter Vegan Chia Seed Pudding
Indulge in a decadent yet healthy breakfast with this chocolate peanut butter chia seed pudding. It's packed with protein, fiber, and delicious flavor.
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons Chia Seeds
- 1.5 cups Plant-Based Milk (Almond, Soy, or Oat)
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa Powder (Unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons Peanut Butter (Natural)
- 2-3 tablespoons Maple Syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of Salt
- 1 tablespoon Vegan Chocolate Chips (Optional)
Combine Ingredients
In a medium-sized bowl or jar, combine the chia seeds, plant-based milk, cocoa powder, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt.
Mix Well
Stir all ingredients together vigorously until well combined. Ensure the cocoa powder and peanut butter are fully incorporated and there are no clumps of chia seeds.
Chill
Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency. Stir well after the first hour to prevent clumping.
Stir and Serve
Before serving, stir the chia seed pudding well. If it's too thick, add a splash more plant-based milk to reach your desired consistency. Top with vegan chocolate chips, if desired. For an extra touch, drizzle a small amount of melted peanut butter on top.
