Ingredients
Scale
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
1/4 cup chia seeds
1/2 apple, diced (for topping)
Pinch of ground nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together almond milk, applesauce, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and maple syrup until well combined.
Stir in chia seeds and mix thoroughly to prevent clumping.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a pudding-like consistency.
Before serving, stir the pudding and add a splash of milk if needed to loosen it up.
Top with diced apples and a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg if desired.
Notes
Use any plant-based or dairy milk you prefer.
Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup.
Best enjoyed within 3–4 days when stored in the refrigerator.
