Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree Canned or fresh, well cooked
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds Provide unique texture
  • 2 cups almond milk Can substitute with coconut, oat, or dairy milk
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup Or other sweetener like agave or stevia
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract For added flavor
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon A warm spice for autumn flavor
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg Enhances the fall flavor profile
  • pinch salt Balances sweetness

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
  2. Allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes to help thicken as the chia seeds expand.
  3. Whisk the pudding again after 5 minutes to prevent the chia seeds from clumping.
  4. Transfer the pudding to serving containers, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  5. Once set, top with your favorite toppings like chopped nuts, coconut flakes, or fresh berries if desired.
