This easy pumpkin chia seed pudding recipe is a wholesome, nutrient-rich dessert or snack that combines creamy milk, vibrant pumpkin puree, warming pumpkin pie spice, and fiber-packed chia seeds. With minimal prep time and simple steps, it offers a delicious autumn-inspired treat that requires just refrigeration to set into a luscious, pudding-like texture.

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk of choice (oat, coconut, or almond milk)
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Added Superfood

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Create Your Flavor Base: In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and maple syrup until completely smooth and lump-free. Use a fork or small whisk to break up any pumpkin clumps for the silkiest texture.
  2. Incorporate the Chia Magic: Add the chia seeds to the pumpkin mixture and stir vigorously for about 30 seconds to prevent clumping and ensure even absorption of the liquid by the seeds. Then cover the bowl.
  3. The Anti-Clump Insurance: Wait exactly 5 minutes, then stir the mixture vigorously again to break up any clumps and maintain an even distribution of chia seeds.
  4. The Transformation Phase: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to expand and thicken the mixture into a pudding-like consistency.
  5. Final Touches: Before serving, stir the pudding one last time and taste. Adjust sweetness with additional maple syrup if desired. The pudding should be creamy, thick, and spoonable, like a perfect intersection of pudding and tapioca.

Notes

  • Use coconut milk for a richer, creamier pudding flavor.
  • Substitute maple syrup with honey, agave, stevia, or 2-3 pitted dates blended into the mixture for natural sweetness.
  • Ensure thorough mixing during and after adding chia seeds to avoid clumping.
  • Let the pudding set overnight for best texture and flavor development.
  • Can be topped with nuts, seeds, or fresh fruit for added texture and nutrition.
