Make this creamy coconut vanilla chia pudding using only five simple ingredients. It is dairy-free, gluten-free, and perfect for making ahead for a healthy breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or preferred sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine the chia seeds, coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt in a jar or container with a tight-fitting lid.
  2. Stir the mixture well immediately for about one minute to prevent the chia seeds from clumping at the bottom.
  3. Let the mixture sit on the counter for 5 minutes, then stir again thoroughly. This second stir is key for a creamy texture.
  4. Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the pudding thickens.
  5. When ready to serve, stir the pudding again. If it is too thick, add a splash of water or more coconut milk to reach your desired consistency.
  6. Serve chilled with your favorite toppings, like fresh berries or sliced banana.

Notes

  • For a richer, more tropical flavor, use only the thick cream from the top of a can of full-fat coconut milk.
  • If you prefer a sweeter pudding, increase the maple syrup to 1.5 tablespoons.
  • This recipe is excellent for meal prep; prepare 3-4 jars at once for grab-and-go breakfasts.
