Ingredients
  

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk)

1/2 cup pumpkin puree (can use canned or freshly made)

1/4 cup chia seeds

2 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust based on your sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (reserve some for garnish)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Optional Toppings: chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans), granola, whipped cream, or dried cranberries

Instructions
 

In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened almond milk, pumpkin puree, chia seeds, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Using a whisk, mix vigorously until the ingredients are thoroughly combined and the chia seeds are evenly dispersed throughout the mixture.

    Once mixed, transfer the chia pudding mixture into a glass jar or an airtight container. Secure the lid and give the container a gentle shake to ensure that the chia seeds are well distributed and not clumped together at the bottom.

      Place the container in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours, although overnight is ideal. This chilling period allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and expand, resulting in a delightful, thick pudding-like texture.

        The following morning, or whenever you're ready to enjoy this treat, take the chia pudding out and give it a good stir. If you find the consistency too thick for your liking, feel free to mix in a splash of almond milk to achieve your desired creaminess.

          Serve the chia pudding in bowls or jars for an appealing presentation. Top with your choice of chopped nuts, a sprinkle of granola, a dollop of whipped cream, or dried cranberries. Finish with an extra dusting of pumpkin pie spice for that added touch of flavor.

            Relish this creamy, autumn-inspired breakfast or snack that’s packed with nutrition and flavor!
