This Pumpkin Chia Pudding with Greek Yogurt is a creamy, nutrient-packed breakfast or snack that combines the natural sweetness of pumpkin puree with warming spices, chia seeds, and the creaminess of Greek yogurt. It’s easy to prepare, requiring no cooking, and perfect for make-ahead meals.

  • Total Time: 4 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • ¾ cup canned pumpkin puree
  • ¾ cup Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup milk (any dairy or non-dairy)
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey, adjust to taste
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • Pinch of salt

Chia Seeds

  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Mix the pumpkin base: Add ¾ cup canned pumpkin puree, ¾ cup Greek yogurt, ½ cup milk, 2 to 3 tablespoons maple syrup, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ¼ teaspoon ground ginger, and a pinch of salt to a bowl. Whisk until smooth and creamy to create a consistent base.
  2. Add the chia seeds: Incorporate 3 tablespoons of chia seeds into the pumpkin mixture and whisk thoroughly to ensure even distribution and to prevent clumping of the seeds.
  3. Chill and serve: Cover the mixture and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb liquid and thicken the pudding. Before serving, stir well. If the pudding is too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen it. Adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup if desired and serve garnished with nuts, seeds, or an extra drizzle of maple syrup.

Notes

  • Use canned pumpkin puree for convenience and consistent flavor.
  • Non-dairy milk options like almond or oat milk work well if you prefer a dairy-free version.
  • Adjust the sweetness according to your preference by varying the maple syrup or honey.
  • Letting the pudding chill overnight yields better texture and flavor integration.
  • For a vegan option, substitute Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt and use maple syrup instead of honey.
