Make this incredibly creamy coconut chia pudding using only five simple ingredients. This dairy-free, gluten-free recipe sets up overnight, making it the ultimate make-ahead breakfast or nutritious snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • 2 cups full-fat canned coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine the chia seeds, coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt in a medium bowl or a large jar.
  2. Whisk the mixture thoroughly for about one minute to break up any clumps of chia seeds.
  3. Let the mixture sit on the counter for 5 minutes, then whisk again vigorously. This second whisking is key to achieving a luxurious texture and preventing seeds from settling at the bottom.
  4. Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the pudding thickens to your desired consistency.
  5. Stir the coconut chia pudding before serving. Add your favorite toppings, like fresh berries or sliced banana, and enjoy this healthy breakfast prep.

Notes

  • For a thicker pudding, use slightly less coconut milk or increase the chia seeds to 2/3 cup.
  • If you prefer a lower carb option, substitute the maple syrup with a keto-friendly sweetener like monk fruit or erythritol.
  • This recipe is naturally vegan and gluten free.
  • This pudding keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, making it excellent for meal prep.
