Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 1 cup plant-based milk (such as coconut or almond milk)
- 2 tablespoons sweetener (adjust to taste)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Measure chia seeds: Measure out 6 tablespoons of chia seeds and place them into a bowl or jar.
- Cool brewed coffee: Brew 1 cup of coffee and allow it to cool completely before using it in the pudding.
- Combine chia seeds and coffee: Pour the cooled coffee into the bowl with the chia seeds.
- Add plant-based milk: Add 1 cup of your preferred plant-based milk to the mixture to add creaminess and balance the coffee flavor.
- Add sweetener: Incorporate 2 tablespoons of your chosen sweetener, adjusting according to your taste preference.
- Add vanilla extract: Pour in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor profile.
- Stir mixture: Thoroughly stir all ingredients together until evenly combined to ensure chia seeds are evenly distributed.
- Let rest briefly: Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes so the chia seeds begin to absorb liquid.
- Stir again: Give the pudding another good stir to break up any clumps that may have formed.
- Refrigerate: Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or ideally overnight to allow the pudding to fully thicken.
