¼ cup chia seeds
¼ cup maple syrup or honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
⅛ tsp ground cloves
Pinch of salt
Optional: Ground cinnamon, pumpkin seeds, whipped cream, or nuts for garnish
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes, then whisk again to ensure there are no clumps.
- Divide the pudding mixture into 4 bowls or jars.
- Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best results.
- Before serving, stir the pudding, then garnish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, pumpkin seeds, or whipped cream if desired.
- Serve chilled, and enjoy with fresh fruit or coffee.
Notes
You can use fresh pumpkin puree, but it should be smooth and fully cooked before adding it to the pudding.
For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and maple syrup.
Add cocoa powder for a chocolate twist or increase the spices to taste for extra warmth.
Store the pudding in the fridge for up to 5 days. It’s best enjoyed chilled.
