Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup milk (coconut milk recommended)
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ginger powder
  • 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 apple (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
  • pinch flaky salt

Method
 

  1. For the Cinnamon Apple: In a skillet over medium heat, combine butter, chopped apple, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Cook until apples are softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in pumpkin seeds and cook another 2 minutes until toasted. Remove from heat and stir in a pinch of flaky salt.
  2. For the base pudding: In a glass jar or mixing bowl, combine milk, chia seeds, vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, ginger, maple syrup (for apple version), and a pinch of salt. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours or overnight.
  3. To serve Cinnamon Apple: Top the prepared pudding with a dollop of almond butter (optional) and spoon the cooked apple mixture over top.
  4. For the Whipped Maple Butter Fig: Prepare the base pudding as instructed in step 2 (without maple syrup). In a small saucepan, combine butter and maple syrup. Bring to a boil and cook for 3-5 minutes until thickened. Whisk vigorously until whipped, about 2 minutes. Stir in a pinch of salt.
  5. To serve Whipped Maple Butter Fig: Top the pudding with the whipped maple butter, fresh figs, and walnuts.
  6. For the Banana Chocolate: Prepare the base pudding as instructed in step 2 (without maple syrup or spices). Add 1 tablespoon cacao powder and 1-2 tablespoons dates (pitted and chopped) to the pudding mixture before refrigerating. In the morning, mash half a banana and stir it into the pudding.
  7. To serve Banana Chocolate: Top the pudding with sliced banana and a sprinkle of cacao nibs or chocolate shavings.

Notes

- For a thicker pudding, use slightly less milk or add an extra teaspoon of chia seeds.
- Sweeten to your personal preference; adjust maple syrup or dates as needed.
- Experiment with different milk alternatives like almond or oat milk for varied flavors.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg to the apple version for extra warmth.
