Preparing The Ingredients

Start by measuring your chia seeds. Use about three tablespoons. This will be enough for one serving. Place them in a bowl or a jar.

Next, measure a half cup of your brewed coffee. Make sure it’s cooled down before adding it to the chia seeds. This step is important so the chia seeds can thicken properly.

Add a half cup of your chosen plant-based milk. This is where you can get creative with flavors. If you like a creamier texture, consider coconut milk.

Include about a tablespoon of sweetener. You can adjust this to taste. If you prefer a sweeter pudding, feel free to add a bit more.

Finish with a teaspoon of vanilla extract for extra flavor. Stir everything together until well combined.

Once mixed, let it sit for a few minutes. Then, give it another good stir to avoid clumping. After that, cover your container and place it in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to soak up the liquid.

That’s all for the preparation part. You’re ready to move forward with your delicious vegan coffee chia seed pudding!

  • Serve your vegan coffee chia seed pudding in a small glass or bowl for a fancy touch. You can layer it with some fresh fruit like sliced bananas or berries for a burst of color and flavor.
  • Drizzle a little maple syrup or agave on top if you like it extra sweet.
  • If you prefer a bit of crunch, sprinkle some chopped nuts or granola. This adds a nice texture that contrasts with the creamy pudding.
  • For a hint of warmth, dust your pudding with cinnamon or cocoa powder. It’s a simple way to add extra flavor.
  • Enjoy it chilled for breakfast or a snack. You can also let it sit at room temperature for a bit if you prefer it less chilled.

Storage Tips

  • To keep your vegan coffee chia seed pudding fresh, place it in an airtight container. This helps to keep unwanted moisture out and maintain the flavor.
  • Once your pudding is sealed, store it in the refrigerator. It should stay good for about 3 to 5 days. Make sure your fridge is set to the right temperature to ensure the best quality.
  • If you’re considering making a larger batch, you can freeze it. Before doing this, make sure your container is freezer-safe. When you’re ready to eat, let it thaw in the fridge. This might change the texture a bit, so give it a good stir before serving.
  • When using glass containers, let the pudding cool down to room temperature first. This helps prevent the glass from breaking due to sudden temperature changes.
  • Always use a clean spoon each time you serve some. This helps avoid introducing any unwanted bacteria into your delicious treat.
