To whip up some tasty keto pumpkin spice chia seed pudding, you don’t need much. Your kitchen already has most of what you need.

Grab a bowl to mix everything together. A medium-sized one is perfect. It should give you enough room to stir things up without spilling.

You’ll need a whisk. This helps blend the ingredients until smooth. It’s better than a spoon for this creamy mix.

Next, find a measuring cup. You’ll use this to get the right amount of almond milk and other ingredients. Precision helps keep everything tasting just right.

A measuring spoon comes in handy, too. With it, you can measure vanilla extract and spices. It’s those little teaspoons that pack a punch.

To keep your pudding fresh, you’ll need a container with a lid. Glass or plastic is fine. As long as it seals tight, your pudding will stay fresh in the fridge.

Finally, a fridge is key. You’ll pop your pudding in there to set. Give it at least four hours or even overnight.

Preparing The Ingredients

First, get some chia seeds. These tiny seeds are what make the pudding thick and pudding-like. Make sure to have about ¼ cup ready.

Next, you’ll need unsweetened almond milk. You can switch it with coconut milk if you like. Measure out 1 cup of it. This will make your pudding creamy and smooth.

Grab pumpkin puree. This gives the pudding its pumpkin flavor. You’ll only need about ½ cup. Be sure to use pure puree, not pumpkin pie filling.

Now, find pumpkin spice. It’s a tasty blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and other spices. Just 1 teaspoon is enough to give that cozy fall flavor.

Don’t forget vanilla extract. It adds a nice touch of flavor. You only need ½ teaspoon.

Lastly, get a pinch of salt. It might sound strange, but it helps bring out the flavors.

Once you have all these, you are ready to mix your pudding. Just a few simple ingredients can make an amazing keto-friendly treat!

Serving Suggestions

Keto pumpkin spice chia seed pudding is great for breakfast or a snack. You can top it with a few things to make it even tastier.

  • Add some whipped cream for a creamy touch.
  • Sliced almonds or walnuts add a nice crunch. They’re low-carb and fit right in with your keto diet. Maybe a few pumpkin seeds for extra flavor.
  • Coconut flakes can add a bit of sweetness. Sprinkle just a bit on top. If you like a hint of fruit, add a small handful of berries. These can add a pop of color and a subtle tartness.
  • For a fancy look, layer the pudding in a clear glass. Add layers of toppings between the pudding for a fun presentation. It’s perfect if you have guests.
  • To enjoy it warm, heat the pudding slightly before adding toppings. It becomes more like a comforting dessert. You could also try having it cold from the fridge for a refreshing treat.
  • Serve it as part of a weekend brunch. You can pair it with bacon or eggs. This will keep you full and happy. Whether enjoying it alone or sharing it, this pudding has got you covered any time of the day.

Storage Tips

  • After making your keto pumpkin spice chia seed pudding, it’s best to keep it in the fridge. Use a sealed container to make sure it stays fresh. Glass jars or airtight containers work great for this.
  • Always make sure the pudding has cooled down to room temperature before putting a lid on. This helps to prevent moisture from gathering inside, which can mess up the texture.
  • Your pudding should be good for about 4-5 days in the fridge. If you don’t finish it in that time, it might be better to make a fresh batch rather than stretch it further.
  • Try to avoid freezing keto pumpkin spice chia seed pudding. The texture might change, and it won’t taste as creamy once thawed. If you really need to freeze it, only do so if you’re okay with that possible change.
