Description
This peanut butter jam chia pudding is a creamy, no-cook breakfast or snack made with simple plant-based ingredients. It combines the nostalgic flavors of peanut butter and jam with fiber-rich chia seeds for a wholesome and satisfying dish.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons strawberry or raspberry jam
- 2 tablespoons crushed peanuts (optional topping)
- 1/2 cup fresh berries (optional topping)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl or jar, combine chia seeds and almond milk. Whisk well to prevent clumping.
- Add peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Whisk again until fully smooth and incorporated.
- Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then whisk once more to evenly distribute the chia seeds.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight, until thick and creamy.
- Before serving, stir the pudding, then top with jam, crushed peanuts, and fresh berries if desired.
Notes
- Use mashed fruit instead of jam for a lower sugar option.
- Almond, cashew, or sunflower seed butter can replace peanut butter.
- Mix in cocoa powder for a chocolate twist.
- Top with coconut flakes, nuts, or granola for crunch.
