This Classic Coffee Chia Seed Pudding is a delicious and healthy breakfast or snack option combining the rich flavors of brewed coffee with the nutritional benefits of chia seeds. Creamy, subtly sweetened, and packed with fiber and protein, this pudding is easy to prepare and perfect for make-ahead meals or a quick energy boost.

Ingredients

Chia Pudding Base

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1 cup milk or plant-based milk
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the chia seeds, brewed coffee, milk (or plant-based milk), honey or maple syrup if using, and vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed and the chia seeds are dispersed.
  2. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator. Let the mixture chill for at least 4 hours, or up to 5 days. Stir the mixture occasionally during this time to prevent clumping and help the chia seeds absorb the liquid evenly, creating a thick pudding-like consistency.
  3. Serve: When ready to enjoy, give the pudding one last thorough stir. Portion it into bowls or glasses and customize with toppings such as chopped nuts, fresh berries, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for added flavor and texture.

Notes

  • The pudding thickens more the longer it sits; for a looser texture, reduce the refrigeration time.
  • Use any type of milk you prefer, including almond, soy, oat, or cow's milk.
  • Adjust the sweetness by using more or less honey or maple syrup, or omit completely for a less sweet option.
  • For added flavor, consider mixing in spices like cinnamon or nutmeg before refrigerating.
  • This pudding keeps well for up to 5 days refrigerated, making it perfect for make-ahead meal prep.
