Pumpkin Chia Pudding With Greek Yogurt

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup Chia seeds
• 1/2 cup Unsweetened pumpkin puree
• 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain)
• 1 cup Milk of choice (cow’s, almond, or coconut)
• 1-2 tablespoons Maple syrup or honey (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Pumpkin pie spice
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• As desired Toppings (e.g., chopped nuts, granola, or additional pumpkin seeds)

Instructions

1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the chia seeds, pumpkin puree, milk, maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
2. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes, then stir again to prevent the chia seeds from clumping together. This step is essential for achieving a smooth texture.
3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken to a pudding-like consistency.
4. Once set, give the pudding a good stir. Serve in individual bowls or cups, layering with Greek yogurt for extra creaminess.
5. Top with your choice of toppings such as chopped nuts, granola, or additional pumpkin seeds for added texture and flavor.
