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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
