Ingredient Notes
Chia seeds: You can usually find this item in the "health" section of the grocery store. You can use black or white chia seeds.
Peanut butter: I recommend using creamy peanut butter in this recipe. Stir it well before adding it to your other ingredients.
Yogurt: Using a vanilla flavored yogurt will give you extra flavor with less ingredients.
Oat milk: Using oat milk as the milk of choice in this recipe helps to make things extra smooth and creamy.
See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and quantities.
Substitutions & Additions
Peanut butter: If you prefer to use a chunky peanut butter you can do that. I recommend using a little extra yogurt to balance things out if you opt for chunky.
You can also swap the peanut butter out for almond butter or any other nut butter if you prefer.
Yogurt: Though I typically use vanilla yogurt in this recipe you can also use a different flavor. Some options that might work well with this recipe are berry flavors, strawberry banana, or rhubarb.
Oat milk: You can swap the out milk out for any milk that you like best. Some other options would be regular milk, almond milk, or coconut milk.
Top Tip: Stir the mixture together immediately after pouring the oat milk into the rest of the ingredients. If you don't do this, the chia seeds will form clumps that are hard to break up.
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1: Gather all of your ingredients. Combine everything in a large container or divide the ingredients into several smaller containers.
Step 2: Mix everything together really well for about 10-15 seconds immediately after combining the ingredients. Wait about 2 minutes then mix everything again.
Step 3: Cover the container(s) and place it in the refrigerator for at least an hour or ideally overnight.
Step 4: Wait until the chia seeds have absorbed the liquid and a thick, pudding-like consistency has formed. Remove the chia pudding and stir one more time before serving if needed.
Expert Tips
- Stir well and stir often: It's critical to stir the ingredients really well once you add the liquid to the other ingredients. It's equally as important to wait about two minutes and stir again to break up and clumps.
- Measure the ingredients: I'm often guilty of not properly measuring ingredients when making a recipe. Sometimes you can get away with that but this recipe relies on the perfect amount of chia seeds and liquid to make a pudding-like consistency. I highly recommend you use your measuring devices!
