Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
Chia seed pudding
- 2 cup coconut milk canned coconut milk or coconut cream, 473 ml
- 2 tablespoon coconut sugar or another type of sugar, 25 g
- 6 tablespoon chia seeds 84 g
Toppings (see notes)
- 1 cup Fruit compote
- 1 cup Granola
Instructions
- Stir sugar and chia seeds into coconut milk and let rest in the refrigerator for 1 hour. The pudding should start to thicken at this point, stir to break up any lumps and continue to refrigerate for 1 more hour or overnight.
- To meal prep chia pudding, add ¼ cup of fruit compote to a jar, layer ½ cup of chia pudding on top. Cover the top of the chia pudding with plastic wrap, then add ¼ of granola on top of the plastic. This will keep the granola from getting soggy. Refrigerate until ready to eat.
Notes
- A can of coconut milk or coconut cream is only 13.5 oz or just over 1 ½ cup of liquid, you can add a little bit of regular coconut milk or regular cow milk to make exactly 2 cups of liquid for the recipe so you don't have to open a second can of coconut milk.
- I only lightly sweetened the pudding with 2 tablespoons of coconut sugar, as the fruit compote and granola will add a little more sweetness to it. Feel free to add less or more sugar to taste so you can enjoy this chia pudding the way you like it. You can always drizzle a bit of honey or maple syrup on top if the final breakfast cup is not sweet enough for you.
- Make sure to stir your chia pudding after it has been refrigerated to break up any clumps that might have formed to distribute the chia seeds more evenly.
- If you don't like to make your chia pudding with coconut milk, you can use a different type of milk like almond milk, oatmilk or regular cow milk. Remember that these types of milk are thinner so you'll need to use a bit more chia seeds to get the same consistency.
- If the pudding is not thick enough to your liking, simply stir in more chia seeds and refrigerate again to let it thicken up. If it is too thick, simply add more liquid to thin it out.
- Feel free to use other toppings like fresh fruits and smoothies for your breakfast cups.
