Healthy Pumpkin Chia Pudding

This Pumpkin Chia Pudding is a healthy, fall recipe that requires no cooking, and you can serve it for breakfast or dessert! 

Have you ever tried chia pudding? If not, this pumpkin pudding is a great introduction. When combined with liquid, chia seeds form a gel-like consistency that’s very similar to pudding. They’re also full of fiber and omega-3’s. Add pumpkin pureé and pumpkin pie spice to that mix, and you have a bonafide dessert.

It’s a perfect grain-free alternative for oatmeal or a healthier version of pumpkin pudding that you can prep ahead and store in the fridge for a morning meal or late-night treat.

How to Make Pumpkin Chia Pudding

If you can stir ingredients together, then you can make this easy pumpkin dessert. Here’s how to do it: 

1. Combine
   Stir together the chia seeds, milk, pumpkin pureé, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and molasses until combined. Optional- blend all the ingredients after soaking to create a smoother consistency. 
2. Chill
   Place in the fridge. Let sit overnight, or at least 4 hours.
3. Top
   Divide the pudding into 2 jars, top with nuts, fruit, and a drizzle of maple syrup or molasses. 

This recipe calls for only ½ cup of pumpkin pureé, so it’s perfect when you need something to make with canned pumpkin leftovers from another recipe.
