Naturally sweetened with maple syrup, it’s a healthy and delicious way to enjoy seasonal flavors with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Mix wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the milk, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and maple syrup. Use a whisk to stir the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
  2. Add chia seeds: Stir the chia seeds into the pumpkin milk mixture until they are fully incorporated.
  3. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until the pudding has set and thickened to a creamy consistency.
  4. Serve: Enjoy the pudding cold. Optionally, top with whipped cream, fresh fruit, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or chopped nuts for added flavor and texture.
  5. Store leftovers: Keep any leftover pudding refrigerated for 3-4 days in an airtight container.

Notes

  • You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup.
  • Use any type of milk such as dairy, almond, soy, or oat milk based on dietary preferences.
  • Ensure the pumpkin puree is plain pumpkin and not pre-sweetened pumpkin pie filling for best results.
  • The pudding thickens as it chills; stir once or twice during the first hour if possible to avoid clumping.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten free and vegetarian.
