Nutella chia seed pudding is a delicious way to start your day or enjoy a sweet snack. It’s creamy, rich, and packed with nutrients. Chia seeds provide fiber and omega-3s, balancing out the indulgence of Nutella.

You don’t need much to whip up this simple treat—just mix and let it sit overnight. The result is a pudding that’s sweet and satisfying. The smooth texture with a nutty chocolate flavor makes it truly delightful.

Give it a try, and you might find it becomes your favorite snack.

Preparing The Ingredients

To start making Nutella chia seed pudding, you’ll need a few simple ingredients. Gather chia seeds, Nutella, milk (or a milk alternative), and a touch of vanilla extract. Keep these items close so you can easily prepare everything.

First, measure out your chia seeds. Use about one-quarter cup. These seeds will expand and give the pudding its texture. They are essential for that creamy, thick consistency.

Next, grab your Nutella. You’ll want approximately two tablespoons. This chocolate-hazelnut spread is the star ingredient, providing rich flavor.

Pour in your milk. Use one cup for a single serving. It’s up to you whether to use cow’s milk or any plant-based option like almond or oat milk.

Add a splash of vanilla extract. About half a teaspoon should do it. This adds a subtle sweetness and depth.

With these ingredients ready, you’re set to mix. Having everything prepared makes the process quick and smooth. Ensure your ingredients are fresh for the best taste, and you’ll have a delicious pudding in no time.

Serving Suggestions

• Mix up your breakfast routine by topping Nutella chia seed pudding with fresh fruits like sliced bananas or strawberries. The sweetness of the fruit goes so well with the creamy texture.
• Consider layering the pudding in a glass with granola for a tasty crunch. It makes for a pretty presentation and adds a different texture to your dish. Add some nuts like almonds or walnuts for extra flavor.
• For a simple treat, enjoy your pudding with a dollop of Greek yogurt. The slight tartness of the yogurt pairs nicely with the richness of Nutella, creating a balanced dessert.
• If you’re feeling adventurous, drizzle some honey or sprinkle some coconut flakes on top. These extra touches can enhance the sweetness and make your snack feel more indulgent.

Storage Tips

• When you make Nutella chia seed pudding, the fridge is your best friend. This pudding stays fresh for about 3-5 days when kept in a sealed container. Use an airtight jar or container to keep it from absorbing other fridge smells.
• The pudding might thicken a bit in the fridge. If that happens, just stir in a splash of milk to loosen it up. Be gentle when mixing to keep the texture smooth.
• You can even prepare multiple servings in advance. Just split your pudding into separate containers when first made. That way, you can grab a ready-to-eat serving anytime you want a snack.
• If you want an easy breakfast, jar the pudding and grab it on your way out the door. Pair it with some fruits or nuts in the same container to make it more filling.
• Remember to give the pudding a little stir before eating. This helps blend the ingredients back together and keeps every bite tasty.
