Looking for a tasty, healthy breakfast or snack? Chia seed pudding with apple and cinnamon is a delicious and nutritious option. With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a treat that’s full of fiber and flavor. The combination of crunchy apples and warm cinnamon will make your taste buds dance.

This pudding is quick to prepare, and you can even make it in advance. Chia seeds are tiny powerhouses, rich in omega-3 and antioxidants, which help keep you feeling great. Add some apple slices on top for a refreshing bite that’ll make you look forward to breakfast every morning.

Preparing The Ingredients

For your chia seed pudding, start with chia seeds. You need about 3 tablespoons. Chia seeds are what give the pudding its unique texture. Make sure they are fresh and dry.

Next, grab some cinnamon. About 1 teaspoon will do. This adds warmth and a touch of spice. You can adjust based on your taste preference.

You will also need almond milk or any milk of your choice. Use around 1 cup. The milk will soak into the chia seeds, softening them and forming the pudding consistency you want.

Get an apple for that crisp and sweet bite. Dice it up into small pieces. This will mix well with the chia seeds and provide extra flavor and texture.

To enhance sweetness, use honey or maple syrup. Around 2 teaspoons should be enough. Adding this will balance your pudding with natural sweetness.

Finally, have some vanilla extract ready. A small dash, like 1/2 teaspoon, will add a lovely aroma to the mix. It ties everything together with a bit of smooth flavor.

Gathering these simple ingredients will make the process easy and enjoyable. Get everything ready before you start to make the mixing process smooth.

Serving Suggestions

• Chia seed pudding with apple and cinnamon can start your morning right or make a great afternoon snack. You can serve it in a small glass jar. It looks cute and is easy to carry if you’re on the go.
• For an extra touch, add a few slices of fresh apple on top. A sprinkle of nuts, like almonds or walnuts, adds a nice crunch. You might also like a drizzle of honey for sweetness.
• If you like things a bit more savory, try adding a pinch of sea salt. This can bring out the flavors of the cinnamon and apple nicely. Some people enjoy it warm. Just heat it gently in the microwave.
• Serve alongside a warm beverage, like tea or coffee. It’s a tasty way to enjoy a relaxing moment at home. Mix it up with a spoon and enjoy each spoonful.

Storage Tips

• Store your chia seed pudding in an airtight container. This helps keep it fresh. Use glass or plastic containers with tight lids.
• Keep the pudding in the refrigerator. It stays good for about 5 to 7 days. Make sure the temperature is consistent to keep the texture and flavor just right.
• Add the apple cinnamon topping just before eating. This way, you can avoid the fruit from making the pudding soggy.
• Freeze it if you want to extend its life. Divide into single servings before placing them in the freezer. Thaw in the fridge overnight when you are ready to enjoy it.
• Keep your pudding away from strong-smelling foods. This prevents any unwanted flavors from seeping in. Consider placing it on a separate shelf for best results.
